DEO Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 TP called me last night. He is a consultant with an extremely large US firm. Sent to Toronto for an 8 weeks assignment. Working Monday-Thursday. Travelling back to US for the three other days Will be paid by Canadian counterpart. He never applied to Canada for a tax id, neither a work permit. When he will be filing his 2017 taxes, I know that he will have to include his worldwide income. What is puzzling me at this time, is the fact that he did not have a tax id or working papers in Canada, how the income will be handled by the Canadian authorities. I know it is early, but I am just getting a jump start. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks Deo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I had a taxpayer a couple of years ago that did some workshops/seminars in Canada. They used her social security number on her Canadian form that reported her miscellaneous income. The number was divided into three equal parts (XXX-XXX-XXX) instead of 3-2-4 (XXX-XX-XXXX) but it was the same digits. Canada deducted the taxes directly that they wanted, but I told the client that I did not do Canadian returns if one was required. I don't think that she was required to file anything since the taxes were deducted directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
