Tax

For businesses as well as individuals, income tax issues are becoming more and more complex. This is especially true when taxpayers are operating, working, and residing in more than one country.

Tax Compliance

In response to my client’s needs, I can prepare:

Personal, corporate, and trust income tax returns for Canadian residents and non-residents

UHT ( underutilized housing tax)

Foreign reporting returns, such as those relating to foreign property, corporations and trusts

A review of documents, and provide advice, to ensure compliance with Canadian income tax laws for residents doing business abroad and non-residents doing business in Canada

Voluntary disclosures when a taxpayer is not in compliance, such as when tax returns have been inadvertently filed with errors and omissions

Immigration / Emigration

Your income tax obligations to Canada are based on your residency status as well as source of income. I can prepare requests for residency determination for clients that:

Have permanent resident status and have established some ties with Canada while still keeping ties with their country of origin

Reside part-time in both countries while still keeping their ties with their country of origin

When you maintain social and economic ties to two countries, I can help:

Clarify, review, and solve income tax issues relating to immigration and emigration, departure tax

Clearance Certificate

If as a non-resident you sell taxable Canadian property (real estate), I can:

Apply for the clearance certificate required

Voluntary Disclosures

Sometimes a taxpayer inadvertently files tax returns with errors and omissions or does not file at all. I can:

Prepare and submit a Voluntary Disclosure with the goal of eliminating penalties and minimizing interest charges
