Listen Later

What happens when an estate includes non-resident beneficiaries or is managed by a non-resident executor? 

In this follow-up to their previous episode on non-resident property owners, Frankie and Sarah welcome Baker Tilly Ottawa partner Julianne McLaren for a deep dive into the lesser-known tax implications of estate distributions involving non-residents.

From T2062 forms and treaty exemptions to CRA penalties and misunderstood clearance rules, this episode breaks down complex requirements in plain language. If you’re a lawyer, accountant, or executor overseeing an estate with Canadian real estate and beneficiaries abroad, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

What to expect:

  • When estate distributions trigger CRA filing obligations
  • The difference between T2062 and T2062C forms
  • Why some distributions are considered “dispositions” for tax purposes
  • How tax treaties with countries like the U.S. may affect your filing requirements
  • And more!
