Non-Resident Tax Services in Canada

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.
