Compliance is the preparation and filing of every return and information report a cross-border position requires, in every country, in the order that lets each one rely on the other. For an individual that is typically a resident return in one country, a non-resident return in another, and the information reports on foreign accounts, property and affiliates that sit beside them. For a company it adds the corporate returns in each jurisdiction, the transfer-pricing documentation that supports the intercompany prices in them, and the withholding remittances on payments across the border.
The information reports are where most cross-border penalties arise, because their penalties are fixed amounts levied for late or missing forms whether or not any tax is owed. A complete compliance calendar lists them with their own deadlines, which do not always match the return's, and tracks which authority each is filed with.
If I owe no tax in a country, do I still have to file there? Often yes. Information reports and treaty-relief claims are filed regardless of tax owed, and several countries require a non-resident return simply to report source income at the treaty rate.
What happens to a year that was never filed? It is filed now, under whatever voluntary-disclosure or reasonable-cause relief the country offers, before the authority raises it; the order of disclosure across countries is planned so that one filing does not expose another.

Multi-country compliance calendars — T1/T2, 1040/1120, VAT-adjacent filings and information returns — kept on one schedule so no deadline surprises another.
Residency is decided on facts — home, family, economic ties — and the tie-breaker rules in Canada's tax treaties settle the cases where two countries both claim you. Engagements are quoted as a fixed fee for a defined scope, and reviews of prior-year filings are included where earlier positions affect the current one.
Covers: The US individual return prepared from abroad, with the exclusion and the foreign tax credit computed together rather than one or the other, plus the account and asset reports that travel with it.
What moves it up: The number of foreign accounts and foreign funds. A salary and one bank account is a straightforward return; six accounts and a portfolio of local mutual funds brings election work and additional reporting.
See this fee pageCovers: The Canadian return with foreign income, foreign tax credits computed by category and country, and the foreign property reporting that usually accompanies them.
What moves it up: The number of countries. One foreign employer is a straightforward credit; income and tax from three countries means three separate credit computations with their own limits.
See this fee pageCovers: 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 moves it up: 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.

International Tax Preparation & Compliance starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you review the deliverable with us before it is filed. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the first call to our 24-hour helpline.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit support works.
Yes. The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% of that balance for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of 12 months (CRA, 2025 tax year). Interest is what compounds, daily, on top. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We work with clients wherever they live, from our offices in India, the USA, Canada and the UAE, and your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage by country and region to find yours.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and the points tax authorities scrutinise. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you told it about. It does not ask whether a treaty caps the withholding on that payment, whether the foreign credit was claimed in the right country, whether an information return was due on an account that earned nothing, or whether your related-party pricing is documented. Those are the questions that move the number on a cross-border file.
Our international tax preparation & compliance services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.
You can start by calling our 24-hour helpline on +1 (416) 619-0068 or sending the form. We will review your files, provide a fixed quote, and start working immediately.
For a resident, yes — worldwide gains are taxable, and the gain is computed in your own currency, so the exchange rate at purchase and at sale changes the number even when the local-currency price did not move. The country where the property sits usually taxes it too, often with a withholding or clearance step before closing, and that tax becomes a credit. A principal residence relief may apply to a home abroad on the same terms as one at home. See principal residence and foreign property.
Not by virtue of it being foreign — there is no exemption for that, and the "keep it offshore" advice you may have read is how people acquire penalties rather than savings. What genuinely reduces the gain is ordinary and legitimate: principal residence relief where the property qualifies and the designation is made correctly, a properly built cost base including acquisition costs and capital improvements, the timing of the disposition, the treaty rules for real property, and credit for the foreign tax paid. See principal residence and foreign property.

An individual with filing obligations in more than one country needed a single compliance calendar built covering every jurisdiction's own deadlines and forms, rather than tracking each country separately. We built the unified calendar and prepared the filings in the sequence the calendar required.
A business with international filing obligations that had fallen behind across several years needed its compliance position brought current before the gaps grew any larger. We reviewed the missed filings, reconstructed the missing years, and brought the compliance position current.
An individual switching from a previous preparer needed their international compliance history reviewed and handed off cleanly, so the new filings were consistent with what had been filed before. We reviewed the prior filings and continued the compliance on a consistent basis going forward.
Contemporaneous documentation has to exist by the filing deadline, not be assembled when it is asked for, and the penalty protection turns on that timing. The engagement produces the analysis for the year in question and puts a repeatable process behind the next one.
Read how this one runsThe two statuses attract different returns, different credits and different provincial treatment, and the label is decided by facts rather than chosen. Establishing which applies is the work; the filing follows from it without argument.
Read how this one runsAn Indian entity with international related-party transactions needs an accountant's report filed by a date of its own, ahead of the return. The work is reconciling the transactions to the books first, because the report is only as defensible as that reconciliation.
Read how this one runsAn executor can be personally liable for what is assessed after a distribution, and the clearance that protects them is obtained rather than assumed. The engagement sequences the filings so the distribution is safe when it happens.
Read how this one runsThe obligation sits on the payer, and the payer is liable for what it failed to withhold. Registration, the residence question and any treaty exemption are settled before the first pay run rather than after.
Read how this one runsAll case studies — every published engagement in one place.
Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.
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.
