Précis: Mr. Sud was a director of 1186271 Ontario Inc. (“118”). He was assessed in 2014 for unpaid GST ($17,298.32 ) for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2005. The evidence was that 118 stopped doing business in 2005 and had filed its last Ontario corporate tax return in 2008. Mr. Sud testified that he believed that the corporation was automatically dissolved 2 years after its failure to file Ontario corporate tax returns and therefore he believed he had ceased to be a director of 118 around 2010. In fact 118 was not dissolved until October 24, 2016 which was two years after the date of the GST assessment of Mr. Sud.
