Form T1135 is an information return: The foreign income verification statement, reporting specified foreign property held by a Canadian resident. Canadian residents — individuals, corporations, trusts and partnerships — whose specified foreign property exceeds the reporting threshold at any time in the year, measured on cost, not market value.

Who this applies to

Canadian residents — individuals, corporations, trusts and partnerships — whose specified foreign property exceeds the reporting threshold at any time in the year, measured on cost, not market value.

Here is the part that decides your answer. Cost amount, not current value, and the aggregate of everything: a paid-off apartment abroad, foreign shares held in a foreign brokerage, and a foreign business interest are all in the same total, while foreign shares held inside a Canadian registered plan or a Canadian brokerage are treated differently again.

Foreign income verification statement — priced before we start

What decides the fee on a foreign income verification statement is the number of holdings and the number of years behind you, not what the property is worth: one account and one current year is a short piece of work, and several accounts across unfiled years is a different engagement. Both are quoted in writing first.

Jurisdiction and authorityCanada — CRA
Category of filingInformation return

When it is due

Information returns are generally due with — or on the same timetable as — the return they accompany, so the deadline is the filing deadline of the underlying return unless the rules set a separate date. Where an extension covers the return, confirm whether it also covers this form; several information returns keep their own date. In practice the binding constraint is usually a document that has to arrive from somewhere else, which is why the timetable is mapped backwards from the deadline.

What late or missed filing costs

The penalty on an information return is charged per form and per year, and it does not depend on tax being owed. That is the whole risk profile: a filer with no tax to pay can still accumulate a substantial liability across unfiled years, and the exposure compounds with each additional entity or account that should have been reported. None of that is unusual, and none of it is unfixable. It is, however, cheaper to address before an authority raises it.

A worked example

Put numbers against it and the shape of the answer is obvious.

A deemed disposition on the day residency ends

A portfolio bought for C$244,000 is worth C$409,920 on the departure day. Nothing is sold. Assume half the gain enters income and assume a 48% marginal rate on it.

ItemAmount
Cost of the propertyC$244,000
Value on the departure dayC$409,920
Accrued gain treated as realisedC$165,920
Amount assumed to enter incomeC$82,960
Tax at an assumed 48%C$39,821

C$39,821 becomes payable in a year with no sale and no cash. That is what makes the departure date a planning variable: losses realised before it, an election to defer payment against security, and defensible valuations for anything private all change this number. The shape of that result holds; the size of it depends entirely on your own numbers and dates.

An illustration, not a client file. The sums are chosen for legibility and the thresholds are stated for the example alone — nothing reaches a filing until it has been confirmed at source for your own year.

How we prepare and file it, and what it costs

Form T1135 is priced as part of the filing set it travels with, quoted in writing before any work begins. A change in scope is re-quoted rather than added to the invoice. See the returning to India after years abroad for comparable engagements.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1A first call to map the obligations across every country involved
  2. 2A single fixed fee covering the whole set, agreed before we begin
  3. 3Preparation in the order that makes the relief usable, with a reviewer's sign-off
  4. 4You approve the finished work, and we file it
  • A change of scope is re-quoted before the work, never added to the invoice after it.
  • A 24-hour helpline, +1 (416) 619-0068, before you commit to anything.

Foreign income verification statement — what this page covers

People reach this page searching for foreign income verification statement. It is covered here as it applies to T1135 — who it applies to, what has to be filed, and what it costs, at a fixed fee agreed before the work starts.

People also search for: foreign income verification · indirect tax · what are tax implications · foreign employment income · how to report foreign income.

Cost amount, not current value, and the aggregate of everything: a paid-off apartment abroad, foreign shares held in a foreign brokerage, and a foreign business interest are all in the same total, while foreign shares held inside a Canadian registered plan or a Canadian brokerage are treated differently again.

The four phases of the work

  1. Documents first, questions second

    We read the file before asking anything, so the questions we do ask are the ones that matter.

  2. A quote you can hold us to

    Fixed in writing against a defined scope. No hourly meter, and no revision after the fact.

  3. The order of filing decided deliberately

    Which return goes first can decide whether relief is available at all. That is planned, not discovered.

  4. Nothing filed without your sign-off

    You see the completed work, ask what you need to, and approve it before submission.

Situs
The location of an asset for tax purposes. It, not the owner's residence, decides whether an estate tax applies to a non-resident's holding.
Reassessment notice

US-source income connected with a US trade or business, taxed on a net basis at graduated rates on a return rather than by flat gross withholding.
foreign income verification statement: How we read this one

Cost amount, not current value, and the aggregate of everything: a paid-off apartment abroad, foreign shares held in a foreign brokerage, and a foreign business interest are all in the same total, while foreign shares held inside a Canadian registered plan or a Canadian brokerage are treated differently again.

However the file develops, three things stay fixed: a written scope and fee before work begins, a named practitioner reviewing the result, and your approval before anything is filed.

Why choose Legal Quotient for foreign income verification statement

18,000+ clients served

Individuals, expats and corporations across India, the USA, Canada and the UAE have filed with us — 15+ years of cross-border work.

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.

Cross-border is the whole practice

International and cross-border tax is all we do — not a sideline next to domestic work. The edge cases on this page are our ordinary Tuesday.

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.

How the work runs — quote first, then the work

  • Step 1: Start with a conversation about the facts – Dates, residence, where the income arose. Fifteen minutes is usually enough to know what applies.
  • Step 2: Scope and price, both written down – You get the scope and the fixed fee together, so there is no question later about what was included.
  • Step 3: Prepared by one team, reviewed by a named practitioner – The same people see both sides of the file, and the reviewer signs their name to it.
  • Step 4: Filed, then followed through – Submission is not the end of the engagement — the queries that arrive afterwards are part of it.

Files that look like this one

Case study 1

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.

Case study 2

A Country-by-Country Report and Who Files It

The obligation sits with the group and the filing can fall on a surrogate where the parent's jurisdiction does not exchange. Establishing who files where comes before preparing anything.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

Coming Back to Canada After Years Abroad

Returning restarts Canadian residence and re-values what you own on the day you arrive. Foreign pensions, employer plans and accounts opened abroad each land differently, and the reporting thresholds are tested against the whole portfolio rather than each account.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

Leaving Canada — the Bill You Get for Assets You Still Own

Emigrating triggers a deemed disposition of most holdings, which produces tax on gains never realised in cash. The file values the property, identifies what is excluded, and looks at whether security can be posted rather than the tax paid outright.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Residency Changed Mid-Year and Both Returns Assumed a Full One

A move part-way through a year produces two part-year positions, not two full ones. The engagement establishes the date residence actually changed, allocates income either side of it, and amends whichever return was filed on the wrong footing.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

Treaty Relief Claimed on a Cross-Border Estate

The estate article can extend a proportionate credit where the two systems would otherwise both tax the same asset. Claiming it requires a valuation and a disclosure the estate may not expect to make.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Canadian Working in the US on a Work Visa

Immigration status and tax residence are different tests, and a visa says nothing about which country taxes the salary. The file fixes residence, applies the employment article, and sequences the two returns so the credit lands where it is usable.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

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.

Form T1135 — questions we are asked

Do I file Form T1135 even if no tax is owed?

Information return obligations of this kind are generally required on the facts rather than on the tax result, so a nil position does not remove one. Canadian residents — individuals, corporations, trusts and partnerships — whose specified foreign property exceeds the reporting threshold at any time in the year, measured on cost, not market value.

What happens if I have missed Form T1135 for several years?

Missed years are dealt with as a package rather than one at a time, because the route chosen for the first year affects the relief available for the rest. We map the years and the obligations before anything is filed.

Is Form T1135 the same as the other reports I already file?

No. The foreign income verification statement, reporting specified foreign property held by a Canadian resident. Satisfying a different obligation, even one covering the same accounts or entity, does nothing for this one.

How do I report foreign income on a Canadian return?

You report foreign income in Canada by type and in Canadian dollars. Foreign employment income, interest, dividends, rent, pension and capital gains each go on the line for that kind of income, converted at the rate for the day of the transaction or an acceptable average, with the gross amount reported and the foreign tax withheld claimed as a credit rather than netted off. Holding foreign property above the cost threshold adds the foreign income verification statement, which is a separate filing. See the T1135.

Is an inheritance from overseas taxable in Canada?

Canada has no inheritance or estate tax, so receiving a bequest is not income to you. Tax happens on the other side of the transaction — the deceased's final return, where a deemed disposition of their property can arise, and any tax the foreign country levies on the estate. What changes for you is what comes next: the asset you now hold may be reportable foreign property, and its value at the date of death becomes your cost base for future gains. See a foreign inheritance.

What has to be reported on a T1135?

Specified foreign property held by a Canadian resident where the total cost exceeds the threshold at any time in the year: funds in foreign bank accounts, shares of non-resident corporations — including those held in a Canadian brokerage account — foreign real estate other than personal-use property, debts owed by non-residents, interests in foreign trusts, and foreign life insurance. Property inside a registered plan is excluded, as is property used in an active business. It reports property, not income. See the T1135.
