The short answer

Almost every cross-border employment position depends on a day count, and almost no organisation can produce one for a year that has already ended. Residency tests, treaty exemptions, state and provincial rules and social security certificates all key off presence.

Who has to deal with this

  • Someone is on assignment, secondment or a rotational schedule
  • Equity was granted in one country and vests in another
  • You cannot produce a day-count record for the year
  • Staff travel to work at customer sites abroad
  • A local authority has queried why no payroll is registered

That list is deliberately concrete. If you recognise yourself in it, this page is the right starting point; if you do not, tell us and we will point you elsewhere without charging for it.

Fixed fees for global mobility calendar & day tracking, agreed up front

Day tracking is priced on how many travellers are in scope and whether a calendar is being set up going forward or reconstructed for a year already closed. Rebuilding a defensible day count from travel records, calendars and device data after the fact is the heavier half of this work.

The rule behind the paperwork

Almost every cross-border employment position depends on a day count, and almost no organisation can produce one for a year that has already ended.

Residency tests, treaty exemptions, state and provincial rules and social security certificates all key off presence. Contemporaneous tracking — travel records, calendars, device data reconciled quarterly — is the evidence that makes a position provable rather than arguable.

This is why we start with a chronology rather than a form. Almost every position in this area is anchored to a date — of arrival, of departure, of a payment, of a transaction — and the evidence that supports it is either created around that date or reconstructed years later at several times the cost.

Every statutory figure that reaches your file is checked against the authority that issues it, for the year in question, before anything is filed. Where we cannot verify a number for your year, the advice explains the mechanism instead and says so plainly, because an unverified threshold is a liability rather than a shortcut. See also tax for crypto traders and corporate emigration from Canada.

What we actually file

  • Year-end reconciliations between the two payrolls
  • Host and home payroll registrations and returns
  • Waivers and certifications that remove withholding where a treaty applies
  • Certificates of coverage for social security
  • Equity apportionment computations and the reporting on both sides

The arithmetic, worked through

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

Splitting one salary between two countries

A salary of C$224,000 for a year with 227 working days, 116 of them performed in the other country. Employment income is generally sourced to where the work was physically done.

Splitting one salary between two countries
ItemAmount
Annual salaryC$224,000
Working days in the year227
Days worked in the other country116
Days worked at home111
Income sourced to the other countryC$114,467
Income sourced at homeC$109,533

C$114,467 is sourced abroad on this split, which is the figure the host country taxes and the figure the home credit is computed on. Reproduce this from a travel record, not from memory — it is the first thing an auditor asks for. Your version of this table is the useful one, and it takes a short call and a document pack to produce.

Illustrative figures, not a client engagement: the amounts are chosen to make the mechanism legible, and the rates and thresholds are assumptions stated for the example only. We confirm every one of them against the issuing authority for your own tax year before anything is filed.

How we handle it

  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

The fixed fee

What it costs is settled at the start. We establish the scope on a short call, quote a fixed fee against it in writing, and that is the number on the invoice. Comparable engagements and their fixed fees are set out on the pricing pages.

  • Nothing is filed until you have read it.
  • Consultations scheduled to your working day rather than ours.
  • A 24-hour helpline, +1 (416) 619-0068, before you commit to anything.

Where to go from here

If that describes your position, the next step is a short call — not a form. If you want to arrive prepared: the prior-year returns, the dates that matter, and any letter or slip that prompted the question. If you would rather just talk it through first, that works too.

    A secure link arrives after the first call. Incomplete is fine; that is what the review is for.

  2. The number is settled up front

    Priced from your own documents and confirmed in writing before any preparation begins.

  3. Both returns on one desk

    One engagement covers every country the file touches, reconciled line against line.

  4. Your approval, then the filing

    The return is yours to check first. We file once you say so.

The vocabulary this page leans on

Corresponding adjustment
The matching adjustment in the other country that stops a transfer-pricing assessment taxing the same profit twice. Usually obtained through the treaty procedure.
Withholding agent
The person required to withhold and remit. The agent is liable for tax it failed to withhold, which is why the obligation belongs to the payer, not the recipient.
Interquartile range
The middle half of a set of comparable results, commonly used as the acceptable range in a transfer-pricing analysis.
Deemed resident
Someone treated as resident by a statutory rule rather than by ties. The distinction matters because a deemed resident's provincial position and credit entitlement differ from a factual resident's.
global mobility calendar & day tracking: The practitioner's note

Residency tests, treaty exemptions, state and provincial rules and social security certificates all key off presence.

Whichever way the facts cut, you keep the same footing: a fee agreed in writing beforehand, a named practitioner reviewing the file, and nothing filed until the work is delivered and approved.

Global mobility calendar & day tracking — what the published fees look like

What the count has to carry matters as much as its length. A single treaty exemption needs less evidence than a file where residency, provincial and state rules and a social security certificate all key off the same presence record and each has to stand on its own. The fee is fixed in writing before the work begins.

The difference a dedicated cross-border team makes

Every figure on a page is traceable

Where a rate or a threshold appears in our writing it names the tax year it belongs to. Where it could not be confirmed, the page describes the mechanism and quotes no number.

Residence is tested, not assumed

Where you are resident for treaty purposes is a question with a method. We work through it and write down the answer, with the facts it rests on.

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.

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: Documents first, questions second – We read the file before asking anything, so the questions we do ask are the ones that matter.
  • Step 2: A quote you can hold us to – Fixed in writing against a defined scope. No hourly meter, and no revision after the fact.
  • Step 3: The order of filing decided deliberately – Which return goes first can decide whether relief is available at all. That is planned, not discovered.
  • Step 4: Nothing filed without your sign-off – You see the completed work, ask what you need to, and approve it before submission.

Cross-border tax case studies

Case study 1

An Assignee Paid at Home and Taxable Away

Where pay stays on the home payroll but the tax arises elsewhere, a shadow run reports the second country's liability without duplicating the payment. Setting it up correctly is what keeps both sides reconcilable.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

Social Security Paid Twice Until a Certificate Arrived

Income tax relief does not reach a social security charge; only an agreement does, and only against a certificate from the system actually being paid into. Obtaining it is the work, and it is often retrospective.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

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 4

A Relief That Turned on Days Nobody Had Recorded

Treaty exemption, residence and social security are each decided by a count that has to be evidenced rather than recalled. The engagement builds the record from tickets, rosters and payroll before applying any article.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

A Canadian Employer With Staff in the United States

Employing someone in the US creates federal and state obligations that begin with registration, not with the first return. Which states are engaged is decided by where the work happens rather than where the company is.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

A Student or Researcher Covered by a Treaty Article

Several treaties carry a dedicated article for students, trainees and visiting researchers that displaces the ordinary employment rules. Whether it applies turns on the purpose of the stay and the source of the funds, both of which are evidenced rather than asserted.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Home Kept in Canada After the Move Abroad

A dwelling left available is the tie the CRA weighs most heavily, and its treatment differs depending on whether it is rented at arm's length. The file settles the residence position first and the rental reporting second.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

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.

Core International & Cross-Border Tax Services

International Tax Planning & Advisory

Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.

One coordinating team: filings on every side of the border are sequenced so treaty relief and foreign tax credits are claimed once — and in the right country.

U.S. & Cross-Border Tax Returns

Dual filers: U.S. citizens in Canada and Canadians with U.S. income run two parallel systems — we prepare both, in the right order, every year.

Expat & Emigration Tax

The move year is its own project: the elections and valuations filed that year decide the next decade of both countries’ returns.

Non-Resident Canadian Tax

Default withholding is 25% of gross: elective returns routinely turn over-withheld rent and pensions into refunds.

Transfer Pricing & BEPS

Documentation prepared with the return is the cheapest insurance in international tax; reconstructing it during an audit is the most expensive.

Cross-Border Estates & Trusts

Wills drafted for one country routinely misfire in the other — deemed disposition here, estate tax there, credits in between.

Cross-Border Corporate Tax

Expansion raises the same four questions every time — entity, PE, repatriation, payroll. We answer them before the tax authorities do.

India Tax for NRIs & Returning Residents

The deduction is taken on the sale price, not the gain — which is why an NRI property sale strands cash unless the certificate is applied for before closing.

Canadian Tax with a Foreign Element

Residency is decided on facts, not on a form — and the year you arrive or leave is the one where the largest amounts turn on the smallest details.

UAE Tax for Expats & Their Home Country

A zero-tax country is only half the answer — the question that decides the bill is whether the country you came from still treats you as resident.

When they do not, the adjustment arrives from two authorities at once and each one uses the other's number.

Global mobility calendar & day tracking — questions we are asked

Global mobility calendar & day tracking — do I need an adviser, or can I do it alone?

Some of it, yes — and we will say so on the call if that is the honest answer. The parts that are worth paying for are the ones where a missed election, a missed deadline or an unverified threshold costs more than the fee: residency tests, treaty exemptions, state and provincial rules and social security certificates all key off presence.

What if I have already filed and got it wrong?

That is a common starting point. We re-derive the position, identify whether an amendment or a disclosure route is the right vehicle, and tell you which one preserves the relief that is still available. The order matters more than the speed.

How long will it take?

It depends on the documents rather than on us. Once the pack is complete most filings turn around inside a fortnight; anything that needs a certificate from a tax authority runs on that authority's timetable, which we tell you at the start rather than at the end.

Is the sale of foreign property taxable where I live?

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.

I work remotely from another country for a company back home — who taxes me?

Usually the country you are physically in, because employment income is generally sourced where the work is done, with your residence country taxing it as well if you are resident there and giving credit. Three things follow: your employer may acquire withholding and social security obligations where you sit, a treaty tie-breaker may be needed if both countries call you resident, and a short trip that becomes a long stay can cross a residence threshold nobody was watching. See remote workers and digital nomads.

Which countries have a tax treaty with the United States?

Around sixty, including Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Australia and most of western Europe — but the list matters less than the terms, because each treaty caps rates and allocates income differently. Two countries with treaties can produce opposite answers on the same pension or the same royalty. What decides your position is the specific article covering your income type. See our country guides.

What if my situation changes mid-year?

Tell us when it happens rather than at filing. Most of what we can do about a change is available in the weeks around it and not afterwards.

How do you decide what is out of scope?

It is written down before we start. Anything not named in the scope is quoted separately rather than assumed, which is what stops the fee moving.
