Frequently Asked Non‑Resident Tax Returns Filing Questions
Who needs to file a non-resident tax return in Canada?
Non-residents earning Canadian-source income, such as rental income, capital gains, dividends, or business income, must file a T1‑NR return with the CRA. This ensures compliance and prevents penalties or withholding issues.
What is a T1‑NR return?
A T1‑NR is the Canadian personal income tax return for non-residents. It reports Canadian-source income and calculates taxes owed while allowing eligible deductions and credits.
Do I need to file if I only earn rental income in Canada?
Yes. Rental income from Canadian properties must be reported under Section 216 or through a T1‑NR, depending on whether you elect to pay tax on net income.
What are NR4 and NR6 forms?
NR4 forms report amounts paid to non-residents, such as dividends or rental income. NR6 forms allow non-residents to reduce withholding taxes by electing to have tax calculated on net rental income.
What is Section 116 clearance?
Section 116 applies to selling Canadian real estate by non-residents. Clearance certificates ensure CRA withholding obligations are settled and prevent delays in transferring property.
Can I claim deductions as a non-resident?
Yes. Expenses related to earning Canadian-source income, such as property management, mortgage interest, or travel costs, can reduce taxable income when properly documented.
How are foreign tax credits applied?
Non-residents can claim credits for taxes paid in other countries on Canadian-source income to avoid double taxation, following CRA guidelines and tax treaty provisions.
What are the deadlines for non-resident tax filing?
T1‑NR returns are generally due by June 30 of the following year, but tax owed must be paid by April 30. Property sales under Section 116 have separate withholding timelines.
How can Gondaliya CPA help non-residents?
Our CPA-led team handles T1‑NR, NR4/NR6, Section 216 elections, Section 116 clearance, withholding adjustments, and CRA correspondence to maximize refunds, minimize taxes, and ensure full compliance.
How do I schedule a consultation?
You can schedule a free consultation call directly through our website, or contact us via our Contact Us page, and our team will reach out to discuss your business needs.
