Agents and payers carry the liability: NR4 slips by March 31, NR6 undertakings before the first rent cheque, and remittances by the 15th.
Non-residents earning Canadian rental income face 25% withholding on gross rent unless a Section 216 return (with an NR6 undertaking) moves them to net-income taxation — usually a dramatic difference. 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 related-party transaction return, reconciled to the corporate return and to the non-resident slips so the three tell one consistent story.
What moves it up: Inconsistency between the three filings. Where the return, the slips and the schedules disagree, resolving the difference is the engagement rather than the filing.
See this fee pageCovers: The elective Canadian rental return on net income, with the deductions the gross withholding ignored, plus the pre-year undertaking where the timing still allows it.
What moves it up: The number of properties and whether the records separate repairs from improvements. One property with an agent's statement is quick; four properties with mixed receipts is not.
See this fee pageCovers: The waiver application prepared and filed before the payment or the assignment, with the treaty basis or the income-and-expense computation that supports it.
What moves it up: Lead time. Applied for early the waiver removes the withholding; applied for late it does nothing for the payment that has already been made.

NR4 / NR6 Non-Resident Withholding 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 are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. 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 NR4 / NR6 non-resident withholding 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.
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.
On the day your residential ties are severed, which is a question of fact rather than of the date on the boarding pass. The CRA weighs the significant ties first — a dwelling available to you, a spouse or common-law partner, and dependants in Canada — then secondary ties such as licences, memberships, accounts and provincial coverage. Keeping a home available while your family stays is the pattern that most often means residency never ended at all. See departure tax on leaving 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 runsA distribution can be capital in the trust's country and income here, and the reporting attaches to the beneficiary rather than the trustee. The work is characterising the payment before it is received where possible.
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 runsWithholding on a sale by a non-resident is applied to the sale value rather than to the gain, so it routinely exceeds the tax due. A lower-deduction certificate obtained before completion avoids locking the difference up until a return is assessed.
Read how this one runsWhen a non-resident sells Canadian real estate the purchaser must hold back a portion of the price until the seller produces a certificate. The file applies for it on the correct basis and works to the closing date, because the holdback is released against the certificate, not against the sale.
Read how this one runsPayments abroad carry deduction at source and a certification filed before the money moves. Whether the treaty reduces the rate depends on what is being bought, and the classification is the decision the whole filing rests on.
Read how this one runsAn application for a reduced or nil deduction is made in advance and decided on the computed liability, not on the gross amount. Applying after the payment leaves a refund claim in place of a certificate.
Read how this one runsPension and annuity payments to a non-resident carry a flat withholding that often exceeds what a return would produce. The alternative filing is elective, and whether it helps depends on the total income for the year rather than on the payment alone.
Read how this one runsAll case studies — every published engagement in one place.
Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.
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.
