Tax resident vs. non-resident


PeteH

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

Was wondering if Canadians can choose to continue filing their annual income taxes (as a regular tax resident) even if they only spend about one month in Canada each year? Reason being not to trigger the deemed disposition (ie. departure tax) ? 

Thanks,

Hello PeteH,

Please check with the CRA.  You may be considered a non-resident of Canada if you did not have significant residential ties with Canada and: You lived outside Canada throughout the year (except if you were a deemed resident of Canada) You stayed in Canada for less than 183 days in the tax year.
