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.
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.
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.
Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your situation. After a free consultation we give you a clear quote before any work begins.
