We specialize in helping non residents of Canada solve their Canadian tax problems. You may have had withholding tax deducted on your Canadian source income or been assessed taxes by the Canadian Revenue Agency. By using provisions in international tax treaties we can usually get you a refund back on those taxes.
Canadian Tax Refunds
for Non-Residents
Most countries have a tax treaty with Canada that reduces or eliminates tax on different types of income. When a withholding tax is taken on Canadian source income it is at the general or highest rate, however provisions in the applicable tax treaty overrule these rates and allow for substantial refunds in taxes. Examples of the situations that result in Canadian tax refunds are listed below:
- Working in Canada on a travel to work visa.
- Sale of Canadian Property - tax paid on sale
- Rental Property Income - with withholding tax
- Royalty Income - with withholding tax
- Athletic or Entertainer Income - with withholding tax
- Canadian citizens living abroad with withholding tax on their pensions
- Income earned as a foreign student
Each situation is unique and we will determine and research your case to determine the amount of refund you will be entitled to before we submit your tax return. Once you are satisfied with this refund we will get your authorization to proceed and file your tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency. You pay nothing until you authorize us to proceed and we obtain a tax refund on your behalf. We are paid a percentage of this refund as our commission so we don't get paid until you get paid. You have nothing to lose since you do not pay an upfront fee and only pay on results.
If we don't get you a tax refund then you pay no fee. Risk free - you only pay for results !
