Is there an obligation to share equally tax obligations which had occurred before or after the date of separation?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Anderson v. Anderson, 2011 MBQB 57 (CanLII):
[43] The unreported decision of Hyworon v. Hyworon (C.A.) sets out the necessity for income tax reassessments representing taxes due by a spouse for years prior to the separation should be taken into The Marital Property Act accounting whether or not the actual notices of reassessment were issued before or after the date of separation. This court is of the opinion that there is in fact no statutory obligation to share equally tax obligations which had occurred after separation even though they arise from common corporate foundation assets. This however is not the end of the matter given the unique facts in the case at bar.
