For tax purposes, you are considered a non-resident of Canada, if you typically live in another country. This generally applies if you,
- spend fewer than 183 days in Canada during the tax year;
- do not maintain significant residential ties in Canada;
- live outside Canada for the entire tax year;
We will prepare and file your returns to ensure full compliance with Canadian tax regulations. For non-resident tax filings, it is essential to report all income earned within Canada. The most common types of Canadian income subject to Part XIII withholding tax include:
- Dividends
- Rental and royalty payments
- Pension payments
- Old age security pension
- Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan benefits
- Retiring allowances
- Registered retirement savings plan / retirement income payments
- Annuity payments
- Management fees
