When it comes to moving to a foreign country,
therere many tax concerns that has to be
reassessed which could significantly impact your
cash flow position at the move. Every resident of
Canada is subject to Canadian income tax on his
or her own worldwide income. That means that a
Canadian resident has to report not just their
Canadian source income, but also all other
sources of income from outside Canada. When
emigrating from Canada, you will become a
non-resident of Canada by filing a final Canadian
income tax return for the year of emigration,
also known as emigrant tax return. If this is the
scenario, youd no longer be needed to pay income
tax on any income that are foreign sourced
O(after emigration). Youll still be needed to
pay Canadian income tax on particular Canadian
sourced income, which will be dependent on the
country in which you want to dwell and the treaty
between that country and Canada. Filing a
departure income tax return for the year of
immigration can become pretty complicated as
therere many extra filings disclosures needed.
First, you have to specify the date of emigration
from Canada. This is usually the date in when you
sever all residential ties with Canada.
