In short

A professional corporation is resident where it is managed, so a practitioner who moves leaves behind an entity that continues to be taxed where it was — and may now be a foreign corporation to them.

Further down: the governing rule, the first-call questions, two completed files with figures, the way the work runs, and where the fee is published.

The rule that applies to this group and not the one next to it

A professional corporation is resident where it is managed, so a practitioner who moves leaves behind an entity that continues to be taxed where it was — and may now be a foreign corporation to them.

Everything else on this page follows from this. The general rules are the same for everyone; the provision that changes the answer is not. That is why a general adviser applies the default and stops, and why the relief written for this group goes unclaimed year after year.

The team at work in the open-plan office

What medical & dental practices cross border tax costs here

For a medical or dental practice the fee follows the structure rather than the revenue. A practitioner who has moved abroad while the professional corporation stayed behind needs its residence and management position worked through, since the corporation may now be a foreign one to its owner. Associates paid across the border add to that.

All published fees on one page — each engagement priced as one number on one list, with nothing left as a range.

Three things we hear on the first call

  • Our owner has moved abroad and the corporation has not.
  • Associates work across a border and are treated inconsistently.
  • Equipment and goodwill were never valued for the restructuring.

If any of that sounds familiar, it is because it is the standard experience of anyone in this position. The rules were not written to be read together, and nobody is given a map. See also tp adjustments & secondary adjustments.

The numbers, end to end

Here is the rule doing its work on an actual set of amounts.

Splitting one salary between two countries

A salary of C$170,000 for a year with 221 working days, 103 of them performed in the other country. Employment income is generally sourced to where the work was physically done.

ItemAmount
Annual salaryC$170,000
Working days in the year221
Days worked in the other country103
Days worked at home118
Income sourced to the other countryC$79,231
Income sourced at homeC$90,769

C$79,231 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.

These amounts illustrate the mechanism only. The rates and thresholds are assumptions of the example, not your numbers: each is checked against the issuing authority for your specific tax year before any return is filed.

Worked through with figures

The arithmetic is more persuasive than the description, so:

Credit relief on one stream of income

Take C$102,000 of income taxed in both countries. Assume the other country charged 25% on it and the home country would charge 31% on the same amount.

ItemAmount
Income taxed in both countriesC$102,000
Tax paid abroad (assumed 25%)C$25,500
Home tax on the same income (assumed 31%)C$31,620
Credit available (lesser of the two)C$25,500
Home tax still payableC$6,120

The credit absorbs C$25,500 and leaves C$6,120 payable at home, because the home rate on this income is the higher of the two. The balance is real cash and it is due on the home timetable, which is why instalments get raised in the first meeting. We run this on your actual numbers before advising anything, because the conclusion can invert with a modest change in inputs.

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 short call to work out what actually applies to you and what does not
  2. 2A written quote against a defined scope, with nothing billed by the hour
  3. 3We prepare, a named reviewer checks it, and you see it before it goes
  4. 4You approve, we file, and only then do you pay
  • We will tell you when you do not need us, and that call is free.
  • Nothing is filed until you have read it.
  • Rated 5.0 out of 5 stars on Google, on a profile open for you to read.

How to get this moving

We would rather scope it properly than quote it quickly.

Cross border taxation — what this page covers

The subject here is cross-border tax for medical & dental practices, which is what people mean when they search for cross border taxation. This page covers who it applies to, the filings it produces, and the fixed fee agreed before work begins.

From first contact to filed return

  1. Hand over the paperwork in any state

    Sorting it is our job. Send what exists and we identify what is missing from it.

  2. Priced before a single form is opened

    The fee comes from the documents, agreed in writing, and stays where it was agreed.

  3. One position across every return

    The same facts, filed consistently on each side, so nothing contradicts anything else.

  4. Filed after you have read it

    The completed work reaches you before it reaches an authority.

The vocabulary this page leans on

Mark-to-market election
An election to tax a holding on its annual change in value rather than on realisation, available for certain foreign funds and used to escape the default regime.
Limitation on benefits
A treaty eligibility test written to deny benefits to conduit entities, applied through ownership, listing, active-business and base-erosion conditions.
Preparatory or auxiliary
The carve-out that keeps genuinely supporting activity from creating a permanent establishment. It is narrow, and it is tested on what is actually done.
QEF election
An election to treat a foreign pooled investment as a qualified electing fund, taxing its income currently instead of under the default throwback regime.

Medical & dental practices cross border tax — what the published fees look like

A restructuring costs more where equipment and goodwill have never been valued, because the valuation has to be built before anything can be filed on it, and more again where past years were filed on the old assumption and now need correcting. Both are quoted in writing before any work begins.

The difference a dedicated cross-border team makes

A named reviewer on every file

Every page on this site and every file we deliver says which practitioner reviewed it — a person, not a team inbox.

Filed with the authority, not just prepared

The engagement runs to submission and to the correspondence that follows it, including the queries that arrive months later.

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.

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.

Step 2

The team reviewing a file together at a desk

From first document to filed return

  • Step 1: Tell us the dates and we will tell you the position – Arrival, departure, the years in between — the residence question turns on those before anything else.
  • Step 2: Fixed fee, defined scope, in writing – Both agreed before work starts, so the engagement cannot grow into a larger bill.
  • Step 3: Prepared together, not passed between firms – You are not the go-between for two sets of advisers working from two sets of assumptions.
  • Step 4: Reviewed, approved, filed – A named practitioner checks it, you approve it, and then it goes.

Files that look like this one

Case study 1

A Foreign Subsidiary That Nobody Had Been Reporting

Owning a company abroad triggers an information return separate from the corporate return, with its own penalty. The work is the surplus and income computations behind it, which also determine how a future dividend is taxed on the way home.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

An Indian Company Paying a Foreign Supplier

Payments 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 runs
Case study 3

Branch or Subsidiary, Decided Before Incorporation

The choice changes where profits are taxed, what has to be filed, and whether losses in the early years are usable. It is difficult to reverse once trading has begun, so it is modelled first.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

A US LLC Owned by a Canadian, Taxed Twice by Design

The two countries classify an LLC differently, so the credit relief that ought to apply frequently does not. The engagement looks at whether the structure can be changed, and where it cannot, at how to make the credit work.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Expanding Abroad — Branch or Subsidiary, Decided on the Numbers

The choice sets the tax on profits, the treatment of early losses, and what it costs to take money home later. The file models all three across the first years rather than deciding on the incorporation cost alone.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

An Estate That Cannot Distribute Until the Clearance Comes

An executor who distributes before the clearance certificate can be held personally liable for what is later assessed. The file prepares the final return and the estate return, and applies for the clearance in the order that lets the estate close.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Foreign Property Form Filed Late, With Penalties Running Daily

The 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 runs
Case study 8

A TFSA That Costs More Than It Saves

Canadian tax-free accounts are not tax-free to a US person, and some of them carry a reporting form of their own. The file is a review of what is held, what each account triggers on the US side, and whether the account is worth keeping once the reporting is priced in.

Medical & dental practices cross-border tax — questions we are asked

What makes medical & dental practices different from an ordinary filing?

A professional corporation is resident where it is managed, so a practitioner who moves leaves behind an entity that continues to be taxed where it was — and may now be a foreign corporation to them. An ordinary preparer applies the general rule and stops there, which is how the relief in the specific provision goes unclaimed.

Can you work with my existing accountant?

That is how most of these engagements run. They keep the domestic file, we take the cross-border piece, and the boundary is agreed in writing so nothing is done twice or missed.

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.

Which country do I pay tax to first?

Generally the source country — where the income arises — taxes first, often by withholding before you receive it. Your country of residence then taxes the same income and credits what the source country took. That order is why timing matters: a residence-country return filed before the source-country tax is settled has nothing to credit yet. Getting the sequence right is most of the work. See international tax planning.

What is the most common thing you find on a review?

An unclaimed foreign tax credit, a missed information return, and a treaty position taken without the disclosure the rules required. Usually all three.

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.
