The promise

T1134 foreign affiliate reporting is quoted as a fixed fee before any work begins, from $999 for a standard engagement. You review the finished work before it is filed, and if the scope changes we re-quote before continuing.

What the engagement actually covers

The foreign affiliate return with a full set of schedules per affiliate, restated onto the basis the return requires rather than the basis the local accounts use.

The team reviewing a file together at a desk

Three tiers

TierFixed feeWhat it covers
Standardfrom $999Where the facts are settled and the documents are complete, this is the tier. It covers Corporate cross-border filing for a single year.
Complexfrom $999An information return, a certificate application or a second jurisdiction in the same engagement.
Multi-year or projectquoted on scopeMultiple years, a disclosure route or an entity structure. Priced per year and per entity and quoted before any work begins.

These are the fees on our own published schedule. The exact number for your engagement is confirmed in writing after the first call, and it is the number on the invoice.

What moves you up a tier

On this job specifically: The number of affiliates and the tiers between them. Work scales with entity count, not with revenue, and lower-tier affiliates each need their own reporting.

  • The number of countries in the filing set — each one adds a return, a calendar and a credit computation
  • Whether an information return or a certificate application travels with the filing
  • Whether a foreign authority has to issue something before we can file
  • Whether an entity is involved as well as an individual

What adds cost

What adds cost is work that is not ours: reconstructing a year from statements, and waiting on a tax authority or a foreign institution. We flag both before quoting so the number does not move afterwards.

The assumption we correct most often

That the local financial statements are enough. They are the starting point; the income classification and surplus questions the return asks are not answered anywhere in them.

What is never charged

  • The first call to the 24-hour helpline, where the scope is set
  • Answering a question about the scope we already quoted
  • Re-sending a copy of a filing we prepared for you

Get the quote

Start with the dates. Arrival, departure, transaction, notice — whichever applies. Once those are fixed, the filing set and the fee follow quickly, and you will know both before committing to anything. Ask before the move rather than after it, because most of the useful options expire on the date.

Functional currency
The currency in which an entity or branch actually operates, and the basis on which its results are translated for a foreign return.
Part XIII tax
Canada's flat withholding on passive payments to non-residents — rent, dividends, interest, pensions, royalties — which a treaty may reduce if the eligibility declaration is on file.
Specified foreign property

The difference a dedicated cross-border team makes

You deal with the person who did the work

The practitioner who prepared and reviewed your file is the one who answers the question about it.

The order of filing is planned, not improvised

Which return goes first decides whether relief can be claimed at all. That sequence is worked out before anything is submitted.

Late and missed years are ordinary work

An unfiled history is not a reason to wait longer. We assess what is still open and what relief the delay attracts before the first return goes in.

One team, not two firms billing separately

You are not the go-between for two sets of advisers with two sets of assumptions. One engagement covers each country the file touches.

How the engagement runs, phase by phase

Step 1

Establishing the facts

A call to our 24-hour helpline to establish the facts and the dates that matter

Step 2

Agreeing the fee

A written scope and a fixed fee before any work starts

Step 3

Drafting and review

Preparation, then a named reviewer's sign-off before anything is filed

Step 4

Filing and follow-up

Filing, then payment — after you have seen and approved the result

Two of the firm’s advisers and the team in the open-plan office

How the work runs — quote first, then the work

  • Step 1: Hand over the paperwork in any state – Sorting it is our job. Send what exists and we identify what is missing from it.
  • Step 2: Priced before a single form is opened – The fee comes from the documents, agreed in writing, and stays where it was agreed.
  • Step 3: One position across every return – The same facts, filed consistently on each side, so nothing contradicts anything else.
  • Step 4: Filed after you have read it – The completed work reaches you before it reaches an authority.

Quoted up front, in writing.

Files that look like this one

Case study 1

A Foreign Subsidiary That Nobody Had Been Reporting

Owning a company abroad triggers an information return separate from the corporate return, with its own penalty. The work is the surplus and income computations behind it, which also determine how a future dividend is taxed on the way home.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

A TFSA That Costs More Than It Saves

Canadian tax-free accounts are not tax-free to a US person, and some of them carry a reporting form of their own. The file is a review of what is held, what each account triggers on the US side, and whether the account is worth keeping once the reporting is priced in.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

A Family Trust Abroad With Reporting on Both Sides

A trust settled in one country and a beneficiary living in another produces reporting for the trust, the settlor and the beneficiary, on different forms and different dates. The engagement maps who files what before anything is prepared.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

A Foreign Affiliate Return Filed Years Late

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.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Fifteen Per Cent Held Back From a Fee for Services in Canada

A payer must withhold from fees paid to a non-resident for services rendered in Canada, whether or not any tax is ultimately owed. A waiver applied for before the work is invoiced avoids the withholding; after it, the money comes back through a return.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

A US LLC Owned by a Canadian, Taxed Twice by Design

The two countries classify an LLC differently, so the credit relief that ought to apply frequently does not. The engagement looks at whether the structure can be changed, and where it cannot, at how to make the credit work.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Retirement Plan That Grows Tax-Deferred in Only One Country

Cross-border retirement accounts are recognised by treaty, but the deferral usually has to be elected rather than assumed. The engagement checks whether the election was made, makes it where it was missed, and reports the account on whichever side requires it.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

Moving Money Out of India and the Certificates It Needs

A remittance out of India needs its tax position certified before the bank will process it. The file establishes the character of the funds, produces the certification, and keeps the position consistent with the returns already filed.

Software revenue crosses borders by default — sourcing rules, withholding on licence-like payments and IP location decide the effective rate.

Software revenue is rarely taxed where the team sits. Licence, subscription and service income are characterised differently by each side, and the answer decides withholding at source, treaty relief and whether a foreign customer creates a taxable presence at all — questions that are cheap to settle before the contract and expensive afterwards.

T1134 foreign affiliate reporting pricing — questions we are asked

What is included in the fee for T1134 foreign affiliate reporting?

The foreign affiliate return with a full set of schedules per affiliate, restated onto the basis the return requires rather than the basis the local accounts use.

What would make T1134 foreign affiliate reporting cost more than the standard tier?

The number of affiliates and the tiers between them. Work scales with entity count, not with revenue, and lower-tier affiliates each need their own reporting.

Is the fee really fixed?

Yes, for the scope quoted. If the scope changes — another year appears, an entity turns up, a certificate becomes necessary — we re-quote before doing the work, so there is never an invoice you have not already agreed to.

What is OECD Pillar Two?

A global minimum effective tax for large multinational groups, delivered through top-up taxes rather than a single global rate. Where a group's effective rate in a jurisdiction falls below the agreed minimum, the shortfall is collected — by the parent jurisdiction under the income inclusion rule, by the source jurisdiction under a domestic top-up, or as a backstop by other jurisdictions. Canada has enacted implementing legislation. The compliance burden is data, long before it is tax. See BEPS and Pillar Two.

Does a remote employee create a permanent establishment?

It can. One employee working from home in another country may be enough where the arrangement gives the company a fixed place at its disposal, or where that person habitually concludes contracts. Seniority and function matter more than headcount: a salesperson closing deals is a far greater risk than a developer. The exposure is corporate tax and payroll registration in that country, which is why it is worth testing before the hire rather than after. See PE risk review.

What is FAPI, and how does it differ from GILTI?

Canada's foreign accrual property income taxes a Canadian shareholder currently on the passive income of a controlled foreign affiliate — interest, rent, royalties, certain gains — with a deduction that recognises foreign tax already paid on it. GILTI comes at the problem from the opposite side: it targets active income above a return on tangible assets. A group with both a Canadian and a US shareholder can therefore be inside both regimes on different slices of the same profit. See GILTI against FAPI.
