What is a priority tax claim?
A priority tax claim is a debt that a creditor has against an individual or business in the state of New Hampshire which has priority over all other debts. It is given priority status by the state and is generally paid out before any other creditor claims. The state of New Hampshire has certain priority tax claims that must be satisfied, such as unpaid income taxes, unpaid taxes on goods and services, or unpaid taxes on property. In New Hampshire, the priority tax claim of the state is paid first before any other creditor claims. This means that even if the debtor is bankrupt, the state will still be able to recover the taxes due before any other creditors have access to the debtor’s assets. Priority tax claims are important for ensuring that the state can continue to collect revenue from those who are in debt, and also allows the state to make sure that funds are collected for the benefit of all citizens. When the state can collect the taxes due, that money then is redistributed to the public for the betterment of all. This is a critical part of creditors rights law in New Hampshire, as it helps to ensure that creditors are given their due payments.
