The Canada-US Tax Treaty — How It Protects You
The Canada-United States Tax Convention reduces or eliminates double taxation for individuals and businesses earning income on both sides of the border.
Key Treaty Provisions We Apply for Clients
The Canada-US Tax Treaty has been in force since 1980 and contains specific provisions that reduce withholding taxes, eliminate double taxation, establish tiebreaker rules for dual residents, and define when a business creates a taxable presence in the other country. Correctly applying treaty provisions requires deep knowledge of both Canadian and US tax law — and when to file Form 8833 (treaty-based return position disclosure) with the IRS.
Who We Help with Cross-Border & International Tax
Common cross-border situations we handle virtually for Ontario individuals and businesses.
Canadian Business Selling to US Customers
An Ontario corporation earning revenue from US clients needs to understand if it has created US nexus or a permanent establishment — and whether it owes US federal or state tax. We assess your exposure and structure to avoid unintended US tax obligations.
Canadian Leaving for the US
A professional relocating from Ontario to the US must file a departure tax return with CRA, potentially pay tax on deemed dispositions of worldwide assets, and understand their last year of Canadian tax residency. We handle the full departure filing and treaty planning.
Non-Resident Owning Canadian Rental Property
A non-resident receiving rent from Canadian property is subject to 25% Part XIII withholding on gross rent unless an NR6 undertaking is filed. We file the NR6, manage withholding and prepare the Section 216 return to recover excess tax paid.
US Citizen Living and Working in Canada
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live. A US citizen in Ontario must file both a Canadian T1 and a US Form 1040 annually. We coordinate both filings and apply foreign tax credits and treaty provisions to eliminate double taxation.
Canadian with US Investment Accounts
A Canadian resident holding US brokerage accounts, ETFs or real estate must report foreign assets on T1135, report foreign income and understand the PFIC rules that apply to many US-listed ETFs. We handle foreign asset reporting and cross-border investment tax planning.
Ontario Corporation Setting Up US Subsidiary
A Toronto-based corporation expanding to the US needs to decide between a US C-Corp, LLC or branch — each with different Canadian and US tax implications. We advise on the optimal structure, intercompany pricing and repatriation of profits back to Canada.
Why Ontario Clients Choose Gondaliya CPA for International Tax
Cross-border tax is high-stakes. Getting it wrong costs far more than the fee to get it right.
