Immigration Tax Traps That Cost Thousands
In this episode, we dive into the complex world of Canadian tax residency and the tax traps that many newly immigrated families face unknowingly.
From massive penalties for failing to report foreign assets to the hidden tax implications of continuing a business from abroad, we explore why early tax planning is the difference between a successful start and financial ruin in a new country.
In this episode, we break down:
• How to determine your residency and tax status in the eyes of the CRA
• Why Canada taxes you on everything you earn globally — even if you’ve already paid taxes on that income in another country
• How failing to disclose foreign properties can lead to massive CRA penalties and gross negligence charges
• Why you need to obtain a formal valuation of your assets the day you land
• How your foreign company can become a Canadian tax resident
• When it makes sense for freelancers and entrepreneurs to start a Canadian corporation to defer taxes and protect against liability
If you are moving to Canada or have recently arrived with assets back home, this episode explains the critical steps you need to take before the CRA knocks on your door.
