AFFORDABLE NR4, NR6 and Withholding Tax Compliance
Canadian property managers, tenants, and agents face strict CRA rules requiring 25% withholding tax on payments to non-resident landlords, plus timely NR4 slips and NR6 undertakings where applicable. Missing deadlines or filing errors can trigger penalties up to $2,500 per NR4 slip, CRA reassessments, and personal liability for withholding agents. Non-resident owners lose thousands when gross rent withholding isn’t optimized through proper Section 216 elections.
Our affordable NR4, NR6 and withholding tax compliance packages start under $1,500 and handle everything – from monthly remittance calculations to March 31 NR4 filings to CRA correspondence. Toronto-based CPAs ensure your non-resident rental income reporting meets all deadlines while minimizing compliance costs and risks for both payers and landlords worldwide.

Non-Resident Withholding Mistakes That Cost You
Many landlords and payers face uncertainty when it comes to withholding tax, remitting the correct amounts, and completing the NR4/NR6 forms, which can lead to penalties or letters from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Common mistakes include:
Not withholding the 25% tax on rental or other payments to non-residents.
Missing the NR4 filing deadline of March 31 or submitting incorrect slips (wrong amounts or missing recipient details).
Filing NR6 late or not at all, resulting in tax being withheld on the gross rent throughout the year.
Assuming that filing NR6 eliminates the need for both NR4 and Section 216 returns.
These oversights can cause unnecessary complications, so it’s essential to understand your obligations and meet all filing requirements to avoid penalties.

NR4, NR6 and Withholding Tax FAQs
What happens if I don’t file an NR4 for my non-resident?
Failure to file an NR4 can result in penalties, interest charges, and potential audits from the CRA. It is crucial to file accurate returns on time to avoid these issues. In some cases, the CRA may also withhold future payments or take legal action to recover unpaid taxes.
Does NR6 replace the need for an NR4 slip or a Section 216 return?
No, NR6 does not eliminate the requirement for NR4 or Section 216 returns. These forms serve different purposes and must be filed accordingly. The NR6 helps reduce withholding tax, but non-residents still need to comply with all necessary reporting obligations.
When is the deadline to file NR4, and what are the penalties for filing late?
The deadline for filing NR4 slips is March 31st. Late filings may incur penalties, including interest on overdue amounts and fines for incorrect or missing information.
Can NR6 be filed mid-year, and when does reduced withholding start?
Yes, NR6 can be filed mid-year if the non-resident landlord is eligible. Reduced withholding will apply once the CRA approves the NR6 form.
As a property manager, am I responsible if withholding tax was not remitted?
Yes, property managers can be held responsible for failing to remit the proper withholding tax to the CRA, which can result in penalties.
How do I determine if I need to file NR4 or NR6?
NR4 is required when paying rental income or other amounts to non-residents, while NR6 is used to reduce withholding tax for non-resident landlords who have been approved by the CRA.
What are the tax obligations for non-resident landlords?
Non-resident landlords must file the necessary tax forms to report rental income, remit withholding taxes, and comply with CRA regulations to avoid penalties.
How can I correct an error on a filed NR4 or NR6?
If you notice an error after filing, you must file an amended NR4 or NR6 return with the CRA as soon as possible to correct the mistake and avoid penalties.
Can non-resident landlords claim expenses to reduce taxable income?
Yes, non-resident landlords may be able to claim eligible expenses related to their rental property to reduce their taxable income, depending on the type of income and the CRA’s approval.
