Why do you need specialised non-residential tax-filing

Non-residents face a different set of rules compared to Canadian residents. Key obligations often include:

  • Section 217 elections: Allowing non-residents to pay tax on certain Canadian income at a lower rate. 
  • Rental income compliance: Filing form T1159 and ensuring twenty-five per cent gross withholding tax is managed correctly. 
  • Certificate of compliance: Filming for a clearance certificate within 10 days of disposing of Canadian taxable property to avoid a twenty-five per cent holding on the gross selling price. 
  • NR6 undertaking: Submitting this to the CRA to pay tax on net rental income rather than gross income. 
  • Failing to file on time can lead to significant penalties, including interest charges and a penalty of one hundred dollars per day for late property disposal filings.
