Study Notes
Non-Resident Taxation in Canada
- Non-residents (individuals and corporations) are generally not taxed on global income in Canada.
- However, they may be taxed on specific activities within Canada.
- Canada treats foreign entities similarly to how other countries treat Canadian entities.
- Understanding this is crucial for Canadian entities engaging in international business.
International Business Transaction Categories
-
Category 1: Transactions initiated and completed entirely within the foreign host country.
- Example: Foreign enterprise selling merchandise in Canada through a branch warehouse and sales office (each sale originates and concludes in Canada).
- Income determined on a net basis (revenue minus expenses).
-
Category 2: Transactions originating in one country and concluding in a second country.
- Example: Canadian resident corporation paying a dividend to a foreign shareholder (originates in Canada, completed when dividend is received).
- Example: Canadian resident purchasing a product from a foreign supplier (originates in a foreign country, completed in Canada).
- Taxation in Canada focuses solely on the revenue component.
-
Both transaction types are subject to selective taxation in Canada.
