Non-resident of Canada (No employment or business income)When you report your status as non-resident of Canada in this situation, no provincial tax return is generated within the program. To account for your non-resident status, please follow these steps:
As a non-resident for tax purposes if you are in any of the following situations:
· You live in another country on a regular or usual basis, and you are not considered a resident of Canada there.
· You are not resident in Canada and you are in one of the following situations:
A- You live abroad throughout the tax year.
B- You reside in Canada for less than 183 days during the tax year.
Note: If you receive Canadian-sourced income subject to Part XIII tax:
· Canadian payers, including financial institutions, must withhold Part XIII tax when such income is paid or credited to you.
· The Part XIII tax rate is generally 25% unless there is a tax treaty between Canada and your country of residence that reduces the rate to be withheld.
· Part XII tax is non-refundable. Therefore, you are not required to file a Canadian tax return unless you want to make an election to convert it to a Part I tax, as provided for in sections 216 (rental income) or 217 (pension income) of the ITA.
