Every Canadian resident — individual, corporation, trust or partnership — that holds a foreign affiliate above the ownership threshold files Form T1134 each year: a summary of the group and a supplement for each affiliate reporting its financial statements, its income by character, the surplus balances, the amounts accrued as passive income and the transactions with the Canadian filer. It is an information return with a fixed penalty for each affiliate reported late or omitted, and the penalty applies whether or not any tax results from the analysis.
The difficulty is that the form asks for the conclusions of the foreign-accrual and surplus analysis, not just the numbers, so it cannot be completed from the affiliate's statements alone. Dormant and inactive affiliates have a reduced form; affiliates below a size threshold have relief; but the ownership chain and the related-party transactions must be reported in full, and the form has to reconcile with the dividends and accruals on the filer's own return.
I own a small company abroad through my Canadian holding company. Do I file T1134? If the holding company owns enough of it to make it a foreign affiliate, yes, every year, with the relief for small or dormant affiliates where it applies; the penalty for not filing does not depend on the company's size.
Is T1134 the same as T1135? No. T1135 reports specified foreign property such as accounts, portfolio investments and real estate; T1134 reports controlled and non-controlled foreign affiliates. A shareholding can be on one, the other or neither.

The T1134 is due 10 months after year-end for each foreign affiliate structure — late forms compound at $25 a day each, so the filing calendar matters as much as the content.
Related-party cross-border pricing must satisfy the arm's-length principle; Canada's contemporaneous documentation rules (s.247) expose undocumented positions to transfer pricing penalties once adjustments pass the statutory threshold. 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 foreign affiliate return with a full set of schedules per affiliate, restated onto the basis the return requires rather than the basis the local accounts use.
What moves it up: The number of affiliates and the tiers between them. Work scales with entity count, not with revenue, and lower-tier affiliates each need their own reporting.
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.

T1134 Foreign Affiliate Reporting 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 T1134 foreign affiliate reporting 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 branch keeps one taxpayer: results consolidate at home, losses are usable sooner, and the exposure is that the branch is a permanent establishment whose profit the host country taxes, sometimes with a branch tax on repatriation. A subsidiary is a separate taxpayer with limited liability and local rates, at the cost of withholding on dividends home and transfer pricing on everything between them. The deciding facts are usually expected losses, liability and exit plans. See branch against subsidiary.
They can be. Canada's deemed-resident-trust rules can pull a non-resident trust into the Canadian tax system where there is a resident contributor or, in some cases, a resident beneficiary — taxing it as though it were resident here. Separate reporting applies to transfers or loans to a non-resident trust and to distributions and debts from one. The planning point is that contributing to an offshore trust from Canada rarely achieves what the brochure suggests. See non-resident trusts.

A corporation that acquired an interest in a foreign affiliate needed the resulting reporting obligation identified and filed within the year of acquisition, since the obligation runs separately from the corporate return itself. We reviewed the acquisition and filed the required reporting for the year it occurred.
A corporation that discovered its foreign affiliate reporting had never been filed needed the obligation reconstructed across every year that had been missed since the affiliate was first acquired. We reconstructed the affiliate's history year by year and brought the corporation's reporting current.
A group that restructured its ownership of a foreign affiliate needed its reporting updated to reflect the new chain, since the previous year's filing no longer matched the affiliate's current ownership. We reviewed the restructuring and updated the reporting to reflect the affiliate's current ownership structure.
The reporting obligation on a company held abroad runs separately from the corporate return and carries its own exposure. The work is reconstructing the surplus position across the open years before any filing goes in.
Read how this one runsThe foreign asset return carries a penalty that accrues per day rather than per return, so the exposure grows quietly. Relief is discretionary and it is granted on the reasons given, which means the request is the work rather than the form.
Read how this one runsA voluntary disclosure has to be genuinely voluntary — once a letter arrives, the route usually closes. The engagement establishes whether the programme is still available, prepares the years, and puts the relief request in with the filing rather than after it.
Read how this one runsHolding a green card does not end the US filing obligation, and living in Canada starts a Canadian one. The engagement fixes residence under the treaty tie-breaker, then decides which return the relief is claimed on so the two do not contradict each other.
Read how this one runsGross withholding on US rents takes no account of mortgage interest, tax or repairs, so a leveraged property can face tax on turnover. An election onto net basis fixes that, and it has its own timing and its own filing.
Read how this one runsAll case studies — every published engagement in one place.
Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.
Working from anywhere doesn't mean taxed nowhere: residency defaults, employer payroll exposure and treaty relief decide where income actually lands.
Working from another country does not by itself end tax residence in the one you left, and it can start one where you are sitting. Day counts, ties, the employer's own exposure and the treaty tie-breaker all point at the same question, and the year you move is the year it has to be answered on paper.
