While Away From Canada

If you are a non-resident of Canada for tax purposes there may be specific filings that are required while you are abroad.  Please contact us to discuss the issues specific to your situation.

Non-resident Rental Tax Returns

If you earn income from a Canadian rental property, there are certain withholding and reporting requirements that must be adhered to. 

Other Non-resident Tax Filing Requirements
