Expert Tax Solutions for Non-Residents with Canadian Income
Navigating Canadian tax obligations as a non-resident can be complex—but you’re not alone. At Tax Accounting, we specialize in non-resident tax services, helping individuals and international clients comply with the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) requirements while minimizing tax exposure wherever possible.
Led by a Canadian CPA with over 20 years of experience, our firm offers clear guidance, efficient filings, and year-round support—entirely virtually.
Who Needs to File a Non-Resident Tax Return?
If you are not a resident of Canada but earn Canadian-source income, you may be required to file a non-resident tax return. Common examples include:
- Rental income from Canadian property
- Pension or RRIF withdrawals
- Business income earned in Canada
- Capital gains from selling Canadian real estate
- Employment income while temporarily in Canada
- Directors’ fees, scholarships, or royalties
Failing to comply with non-resident tax rules can lead to penalties, withholding tax issues, and delays in refunds or property sales—but we’re here to make the process simple and compliant.
Our Non-Resident Tax Services Include:
✔ Section 216 Tax Return (Rental Income)
Optimize tax on Canadian rental income by electing to file under Section 216, possibly reducing your tax below the 25% withholding rate.
✔ Section 217 Tax Return (Pension & OAS/RRIF Income)
Choose to file under Section 217 if you receive Canadian pensions or retirement income and want to be taxed at regular graduated rates.
✔ NR6 Filing
Apply for a reduction in withholding tax on Canadian rental income by submitting an NR6 election before the start of the tax year.
✔ NR4 Slips and Withholding Reviews
We prepare NR4 summaries and reconcile non-resident withholding obligations for landlords, executors, and agents.
✔ Capital Gains Tax on Property Sales
We help you file Form T2062 and T2062A to request a Certificate of Compliance when disposing of taxable Canadian property.
✔ Non-Resident Business & Employment Income Reporting
Ensure full compliance for short-term work or contract income earned while visiting Canada.
✔ Tax Planning & CRA Correspondence
We advise on residency determinations, tie-breaker rules, and cross-border tax planning—and represent you in communications with the CRA.
