Your Canadian tax questions answered
We’re here to make any tax-related concerns as straightforward as possible. Below are answers to some common questions on Canadian tax advice.
How much does tax advice cost in Canada?
The cost of tax advice in Canada varies depending on your situation and the level of expertise required. Our rates are competitive and completely transparent, so you can be sure you’re getting a fair price with zero hidden costs.
How do I find a tax advisor who specialises in my specific needs (e.g. expat tax, corporate tax)?
Tax Natives connects you with specialised tax advisors based on your specific needs, whether you need help with expat taxes, corporate tax strategies, or other specific areas. Get in touch, and we’ll match you with the right expert.
What qualifications should I look for in a Canadian tax advisor?
Look for advisors who are certified accountants or tax specialists or have other relevant qualifications, such as CPA or tax law certifications.
Can a tax advisor help with CRA inquiries or investigations?
Yes, a qualified tax advisor can help you manage inquiries from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and represent you during audits and investigations.
How can I make sure I’m getting the most out of my tax advisor?
Get the most out of your tax advisor by being clear about your financial situation, goals, and any concerns you have. Stay in contact and provide all necessary documents to help your advisor offer the best advice.
Do I need to file Canadian taxes if I’m a UK citizen living in Canada?
If you’re living and working in Canada, you’re likely considered a tax resident and must file Canadian taxes on the income you make domestically and internationally. This includes wages, investments, business income, and other earnings from any country.
What are the tax implications of owning Canadian property as a UK resident?
Owning property in Canada as a non-resident can have specific tax implications, including capital gains tax on the sale of the property. Our advisors can guide you through this.
How can I avoid double taxation between the UK and Canada?
If you want to avoid double taxation between the UK and Canada, you should take advantage of the tax treaty between them. This prevents you from being taxed on the same income in both countries.
Both Canada and the UK also allow a foreign tax credit, which means you can claim a credit for the tax you’ve paid in another country to reduce or remove your tax liability there.
If you have any questions about double taxation in Canada and the UK, get in touch, and we’ll match you with one of our expert advisors who can help you personally.
What are the reporting requirements for Canadian citizens living in the UK?
Canadian citizens residing in the UK may still need to report foreign income and file specific forms with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
