A tax warrant is a legal document issued by a government agency, typically a tax authority, that authorizes the collection of unpaid taxes from an individual or business. The warrant is essentially an order to seize property, such as bank accounts, assets, or wages, in order to satisfy outstanding tax debts. The tax warrant is usually issued after the taxpayer has failed to respond to multiple requests for payment or has ignored a court order to pay the taxes owed. The issuance of a tax warrant is a serious matter, as it can result in the forced sale of property or other legal action to collect the outstanding debt.
