How is Canadian rental income taxed for a non-resident?
Non-residents are generally subject to 25% withholding tax on gross rent. By filing a Section 216 return, tax is calculated on net rental income instead, which is often far lower. The return is due within six months of the year-end.
What is a Section 116 certificate?
When a non-resident sells taxable Canadian property such as real estate, they should notify the CRA and apply for a clearance certificate. Without one, the buyer may be required to withhold a significant part of the sale price, and the seller can face penalties.
Do I stay a Canadian tax resident after moving abroad?
It depends on your residential ties to Canada, such as a home, spouse or dependants here, and on any tax treaty. We assess your situation and file the right returns for the year you leave.
