The promise

T2 with foreign income 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 Canadian corporate return with the cross-border schedules that travel with it — foreign income, payments to non-residents, and the foreign affiliate flags.

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

Three tiers

TierFixed feeWhat it covers
Standardfrom $999The straightforward case: one year, one country pair, records in order. Corporate cross-border filing at the published rate.
Complexfrom $999Where the filing carries an information return, needs a certificate from an authority, or reaches a second country.
Multi-year or projectquoted on scopeWhere the engagement spans years or entities, the fee is built from the scope and quoted in writing first.

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 related-party transactions. A single management fee is manageable; a dozen intercompany flows brings the related-party return and transfer-pricing support with it.

  • The number of tax years in scope, because a catch-up package is priced per year
  • The number of countries in the filing set — each one adds a return, a calendar and a credit computation
  • Whether an entity is involved as well as an individual
  • Whether an information return or a certificate application travels with the filing

What adds cost

Cost comes from missing records and from other people's timetables. Rebuilding a year without documents takes real time, and a certificate that has to be issued by an authority takes whatever that authority takes. Both are identified in the quote, not afterwards.

The assumption we correct most often

That the corporate return is the whole job. In a cross-border group the schedules and information returns beside it usually carry more exposure than the return itself.

What is never charged

  • Answering a question about the scope we already quoted
  • Time spent telling you that you do not need the engagement
  • The first call to the 24-hour helpline, where the scope is set

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. If a letter prompted this, bring the letter — it usually contains the answer to half the questions.

Foreign housing exclusion
An additional US exclusion for housing costs abroad above a base amount, available alongside the earned income exclusion and computed by reference to it.
Regulation 105
The Canadian withholding on fees paid to a non-resident for services rendered in Canada, computed on gross fees and reducible in advance by a waiver.
Section 216
The Canadian elective return that taxes a non-resident's net rental profit at graduated rates instead of gross rent at the flat withholding rate.
Effective tax rate
Tax as a proportion of a defined measure of profit. Under the minimum tax rules it is computed per jurisdiction from adjusted accounting figures.

Why clients bring t2 with foreign income price to us

Filed with the authority, not just prepared

The engagement runs to submission and to the correspondence that follows it, including the queries that arrive months later.

The quote comes from your documents

Nothing is priced from a phone call. We read what you have first, then the fee is set — so the scope and the number are agreed on the same evidence.

We say early if it is not our work

If a file needs something this practice does not do, you hear that at the start rather than after a bill.

Both sides prepared together

Two returns built against each other by one team, so relief is claimed exactly once and nothing falls between the two systems.

A fixed quote first, in writing

  • 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.

Cross-border situations we are engaged for

Case study 1

A US Filer Married to Someone Outside the System

Electing to treat a non-resident spouse as a US filer buys joint rates and brings that spouse's worldwide income and foreign accounts into the return. The election is easy to make and hard to revoke, so both positions are modelled first.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

Withheld at the Statutory Rate When a Treaty Rate Applied

Where withholding has already gone out at the full domestic rate, the treaty rate is recovered rather than applied. The file establishes entitlement for each payment, then puts the documentation in place so the following year runs at the correct rate from the start.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

A Company That Needed a Resident on Its Board

Several jurisdictions require a locally resident director before a company can be registered or keep its filings current. The requirement is structural and is settled at incorporation rather than discovered at the first annual return.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

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 5

A Taxable Presence Created Without an Office

A dependent agent habitually concluding contracts can create a permanent establishment where there is no premises at all. The review tests what the person actually does against what the treaty describes.

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

Interest and Penalties Put to a Relief Application

Relief is discretionary and is decided on the circumstances that caused the delay, evidenced year by year. The application is built from the same chronology the filings rest on, so the two cannot contradict each other.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

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.

Investment Funds & Holding Companies

Holding structures live or die on treaty access, beneficial ownership and substance — the MLI's principal-purpose test now sits over every arrangement.

A holding structure is only as good as its reporting. Foreign affiliates, accrued passive income and distributions each carry their own return, and the penalties on those attach to the form rather than to any tax being owed — so a structure that saves tax can still cost money if the information returns are late.

T2 with foreign income pricing — questions we are asked

What is included in the fee for t2 with foreign income?

The Canadian corporate return with the cross-border schedules that travel with it — foreign income, payments to non-residents, and the foreign affiliate flags.

What would make t2 with foreign income cost more than the standard tier?

The number of related-party transactions. A single management fee is manageable; a dozen intercompany flows brings the related-party return and transfer-pricing support with it.

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.

Which country do I pay tax to first?

Generally the source country — where the income arises — taxes first, often by withholding before you receive it. Your country of residence then taxes the same income and credits what the source country took. That order is why timing matters: a residence-country return filed before the source-country tax is settled has nothing to credit yet. Getting the sequence right is most of the work. See international tax planning.

Do I pay tax when I inherit property abroad?

The inheritance itself is often not income to you, but three other things can create tax: the estate may owe tax where the deceased or the property was situated, some countries tax the recipient directly, and the gain from the date you inherit to the date you sell is yours. Reporting obligations can also attach to holding the asset. See inheriting property abroad.

How do you avoid double taxation?

You claim relief once, in the right country, in the right order. Usually the source country taxes first, the residence country then gives a credit for that tax against its own charge on the same income, and a treaty caps the source-country rate. Getting the order wrong is what produces a double charge you then have to unwind. The mechanism differs by income type, which is why we map the whole position before filing either return. See how to avoid double taxation.
