In short

Resource projects attract sector-specific regimes — royalties, resource taxes and offshore provisions — that sit alongside ordinary corporate tax and are not covered by the treaty in the same way.

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

Resource projects attract sector-specific regimes — royalties, resource taxes and offshore provisions — that sit alongside ordinary corporate tax and are not covered by the treaty in the same way.

This is the point most filings get wrong. The difference between the two outcomes is a provision most people in this position have never heard of — and once it is identified, the rest of the file is straightforward.

The team at work in the open-plan office

What mining & energy cross border tax costs here

Mining and energy files are priced from the project: how many jurisdictions the site, the licence and the crew sit in, and whether local royalty and resource charges have to be modelled alongside ordinary corporate tax. A rotational workforce paid in several countries is usually the part that adds the most work.

Individual tax filing

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

A personal filing built from your own documents — employment, investment and rental income across borders, with the treaty position set out.
See the fee schedule

Corporate cross-border filing

From $999

fixed, quoted before work starts

The corporate return and its cross-border schedules as one engagement, so the group files a consistent position everywhere.
See the fee schedule

Payroll & mobility setup

From $999

fixed, quoted before work starts

The employer side of mobility — where to register, what to withhold, and what to report once someone works across a border.
See the fee schedule

Non-resident & departure filings

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

Non-resident filings and the two part-year returns a move produces, sequenced so neither country taxes the same income twice.
See the fee schedule

Transfer pricing documentation

From $2,500

fixed, quoted before work starts

Benchmarking and documentation for related-party dealings, prepared to the standard the reviewing authority applies.
See the fee schedule

Disclosure of assets and interests held abroad, built once from a single asset list and filed on every side that asks for it.
See the fee schedule

Catch-up & voluntary disclosure

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

See the fee schedule

Estate & trust filing

From $799

fixed, quoted before work starts

Cross-border estates and trusts, from the reporting on the assets to the returns the beneficiaries then have to file.
See the fee schedule

All published fees on one page — every engagement, one list, no ranges hiding surprises.

Three things we hear on the first call

  • Our project is subject to local resource charges nobody modelled.
  • Our rotational workforce creates payroll obligations in several countries.
  • Equipment financing across borders was never reviewed for withholding.

We hear versions of all three most weeks. The confusion is structural rather than personal: nothing in either system is designed to explain the other. See also employer of record — the tax risk.

A worked example

Numbers make this concrete, so here is the same rule applied to a set of figures.

Splitting one salary between two countries

A salary of C$109,000 for a year with 220 working days, 114 of them performed in the other country. Employment income is generally sourced to where the work was physically done.

ItemAmount
Annual salaryC$109,000
Working days in the year220
Days worked in the other country114
Days worked at home106
Income sourced to the other countryC$56,482
Income sourced at homeC$52,518

C$56,482 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. That is an illustration of the mechanism, not a prediction about your file — the same computation on your figures is the first thing we do.

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.

A worked example

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

Credit relief on one stream of income

Take C$133,000 of income taxed in both countries. Assume the other country charged 28% on it and the home country would charge 29% on the same amount.

ItemAmount
Income taxed in both countriesC$133,000
Tax paid abroad (assumed 28%)C$37,240
Home tax on the same income (assumed 29%)C$38,570
Credit available (lesser of the two)C$37,240
Home tax still payableC$1,330

The credit absorbs C$37,240 and leaves C$1,330 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.

Treat these numbers as a worked example rather than advice — they exist to make the mechanics visible, and the rates and thresholds are assumed for the illustration. For a real filing, we verify each figure with the authority that publishes it, for your year.

Key terms behind this page, defined

Chapter 4 withholding
The FATCA withholding regime, which turns on an institution's or entity's status classification rather than on the character of the income.
Day-count record
A contemporaneous record of presence by country. Almost every cross-border employment position depends on one, and almost nobody can produce one after the year has ended.
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.
Ordinarily resident
A status used in some systems for someone habitually resident in the country, which can limit or extend the income within the charge independently of the residence test.

Mining & energy cross border tax — what the published fees look like

Cross-border equipment financing is the other lever, since withholding on those payments has to be reviewed before any return can be relied on, and offshore provisions may apply that the treaty does not settle. The fee rises with the number of years being brought current, and is fixed in writing first.

What working with us on mining & energy cross border tax looks like

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.

The quote comes from your documents

Nothing is priced from a phone call. We read what you have first, then the fee is set — so the scope and the number are agreed on the same evidence.

Cross-border is the whole practice

International and cross-border tax is all we do — not a sideline next to domestic work. The edge cases on this page are our ordinary Tuesday.

The fee is fixed before we start

Quoted from your documents and agreed in writing. The number you accept is the number you pay.

The team reviewing a file together at a desk

How the work runs — quote first, then the work

  • 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.

Quoted up front, in writing.

Cross-border tax case studies

Case study 1

Paying a Dividend Up to a Foreign Parent

The withholding rate depends on the treaty, on the size of the holding, and on whether the parent is the beneficial owner rather than a conduit. Establishing all three before the payment is what secures the lower rate at source.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

An Adjustment in One Country and No Relief in the Other

A pricing adjustment taxes the same profit twice unless the other country makes a corresponding one. The mutual agreement route is what produces that relief, and it is opened on a timetable set by the treaty rather than by either revenue authority.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

Three Countries in One File and Two Treaties That Disagree

Income sourced in one country, paid to a resident of a second, held through an entity in a third: three bilateral treaties, no three-way rule. The analysis works out which pair governs each flow, and whether the middle entity is entitled to anything at all.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

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.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Indian Transfer Pricing Certification With a Hard Deadline

An 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 runs
Case study 6

Putting a Foreign Hire on a Canadian Payroll

The 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 runs
Case study 7

The Same Income Taxed Twice on Paper

Relief usually exists and is lost to sequence: one country taxes at source and the other credits it, and preparing them in the wrong order claims a credit against a figure nobody has computed.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

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.

Cross-border tax for sellers shipping worldwide: marketplace withholding, foreign registrations and inventory nexus handled before they become audits.

Marketplaces withhold, remit and report in their own right, so the tax position of a single sale is decided by where the stock sat, where the buyer was and which platform collected — not by where the company is registered. We reconcile the platform's own filings against the returns before either is submitted.

Mining & energy cross-border tax — questions we are asked

What makes mining & energy different from an ordinary filing?

Resource projects attract sector-specific regimes — royalties, resource taxes and offshore provisions — that sit alongside ordinary corporate tax and are not covered by the treaty in the same way. 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.

How do families with assets in two countries handle inheritance?

With paperwork built for both systems rather than one. In practice that means wills that work where each asset actually sits, an executor with authority a foreign bank or land registry will accept, clearance certificates before the estate distributes so the executor is not left personally exposed, and an estate tax exposure calculation done while the person is alive and can still act on it. Doing it afterwards costs more and forecloses most of the options. See cross-border wills and trusts.

Do NRIs pay tax on money sent to India?

Sending your own funds to India is a transfer of capital, not income, so the remittance itself is not taxed. What is taxable is income the money then earns in India — interest, rent, capital gains — under the rules for the account type it sits in. Sending money out of India is the direction that needs certification before the bank will act. See NRE, NRO and FCNR accounts.

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.

Why is cross-border work more expensive than a domestic return?

Because two systems have to be reconciled rather than one applied, and the reconciliation is where the money is saved. The fee is still fixed and agreed before we start.
