Cross-border tax case studies
Engineer relocating to Singapore part way through the year
The client left Canada for a posting in Singapore in the middle of a calendar year and had assumed a full-year Canadian return was still required. We settled the date residence ceased on the evidence available: when the family home was let, when the household goods moved, when Canadian memberships and coverage ended. A part-year return was prepared on that basis, and property held on departure was reviewed against the deemed disposition that follows ceasing residence. The engagement produced a filed departure-year return and a written residency memorandum the client can hand to any reviewer.
Canadian shareholder of a Singapore incorporated trading company
A Canadian resident held shares in a company incorporated in Singapore and had reported only the dividends actually received. We reviewed what the holding required beyond the income: the reporting the CRA expects for interests in foreign corporations, and whether any of the company's income was of a kind Canada taxes as it arises rather than when it is distributed. The work consisted of rebuilding the company accounts into Canadian dollars, preparing the outstanding information reporting, and documenting the position taken. The client now has a reporting package that repeats cleanly each year.
Canadian corporation opening a branch operation in Singapore
A T2 filer opened a branch in Singapore and wanted to know what changed in its Canadian return. We worked through whether the activity amounted to a taxable presence under local rules, how branch results were to be translated and reported in the corporate return here, and what relief was available for foreign tax charged on the same profit. Charges between head office and branch were documented before they were invoiced. The engagement produced a filed corporate return with a supporting schedule for the branch and a written note on the treatment adopted.
Family returning to Canada after several years in Singapore
The family had been non-resident and came back holding investments and a policy acquired abroad. The technical event was the arrival rather than the return itself: property held on becoming resident enters the Canadian system at its value on that date, and that value has to be evidenced at the time rather than reconstructed years later. We fixed the residence date, valued the holdings on it, and prepared the first resident return on that footing. The client left with a dated valuation file standing behind every cost base.
Contractor in Canada invoicing a client based in Singapore
A self-employed consultant billing a Singapore customer had been invoicing without sales tax, on the assumption that a foreign address settles the question. We reviewed what was actually supplied, where it was performed and what the recipient's status was, then set the invoicing treatment for each category of work rather than for the customer as a whole. The self-employment income itself was reported in Canadian dollars using a conversion approach appropriate to the receipts. The engagement produced a corrected invoicing template and a filed return consistent with it.
Employer sending staff on assignment from Canada to Singapore
An employer with people going out on assignment wanted the payroll settled before the first departure rather than after the first pay run. We mapped which employees would remain Canadian residents and which would not, what that meant for source deductions, and how a tax equalisation policy would be reflected in the payroll records. Where an assignment created a filing obligation for the company itself, that was identified separately from the employee position. The engagement produced a written assignment payroll procedure and a schedule of the filings each population triggers.
Withholding Reduced by the Right Article
Dividends, interest and royalties each have their own article and their own rate, and the payer applies whichever it is satisfied of. Establishing entitlement before payment is what secures the lower rate at source.

The reporting obligation on a company held abroad runs separately from the corporate return and carries its own exposure. The work is reconstructing the surplus position across the open years before any filing goes in.

Related-party purchasing, customs value versus transfer price, and foreign-affiliate structures put trading businesses inside the s.247 documentation rules.
Goods crossing a border move the tax question from income to indirect: registration thresholds, place of supply, the customs value and the transfer price between related entities all have to agree with each other. When they do not, the adjustment arrives from two authorities at once and each one uses the other's number.
