Section 216 and 217 elections can substantially reduce non-resident withholding on Canadian rents and pensions when filed on time. We quote intercompany pricing policy as one pocket-friendly fixed price — the budget-friendly alternative to hourly billing.
The pattern in intercompany pricing policy files repeats often enough that a tax preparation specialist can usually tell early on where a file will need work. What follows is that read, written down for Intercompany Pricing Policy.
The starting point is not a strategy but a constraint: A CCPC files its T2 within six months of year-end, with the balance due two months after (three where the small business deduction is claimed). The 9% federal small business rate applies to the first $500,000 of active business income. The filing and payment deadlines differ, and interest runs from the payment date. Filing on time while paying late still costs money.
The next point is the one a tax preparation specialist checks before quoting any timeline: The rate charged follows the customer's province, not the seller's: 13% into Ontario, 15% into New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI, 14% into Nova Scotia (since 1 April 2025), 5% plus provincial tax elsewhere. A seller charging its own province's rate nationally is under-collecting on some sales and over-collecting on others, and owes the difference on the under-collected ones. Calendars matter more than most people expect in intercompany pricing policy, and this is the rule that proves it: Part XIII withholding of 25 percent applies to dividends, rents, royalties and certain interest paid to non-residents. It is reduced only by the rate the applicable treaty allows. The Canadian payer is liable for tax it failed to withhold, and the amounts are reported on an NR4 information return.
You do not need to hold all of this in your head. You need someone who does — and an income tax specialist handling intercompany pricing policy week after week keeps these rules current so you do not have to. The smoothest files are the ones where the client arrives with these records already assembled.
Start whenever suits you; the structure is already set. You will know the fixed fee before work begins, approve the file before it is filed, and pay only once the service is delivered.

Closing the books at a Canadian with a US employer in Ottawa, Ontario took 6 weeks. The cause was a departure year filed as a normal resident return with no deemed disposition reported. It now takes 10 days.
The accounting file at a Canadian with a US employer in Ottawa, Ontario had a weak foundation. It was built on a departure year filed as a normal resident return with no deemed disposition reported. The year-end had taken 6 weeks each of the last three years. We reported the deemed disposition properly on the departure return and claimed the foreign tax credits that had been left unused. We also moved the reconciliations into the monthly cycle, so the year-end stopped being a rebuild. The file reconciles. Month-end closes in 10 days instead of 6 weeks, and the year-end is a review rather than a reconstruction.
A $115,000 reassessment landed at a Canadian corporation operating a US branch in Edmonton, Alberta. It rested on a US LLC taxed as a corporation in Canada, producing double tax on the same income. The objection was allowed in full.
A Canadian corporation operating a US branch in Edmonton, Alberta had been reassessed for $115,000. 9 days were left on the objection deadline. The reassessment rested on a US LLC taxed as a corporation in Canada, producing double tax on the same income. We filed the objection inside the deadline with a complete submission rather than a placeholder. Alongside it, we registered the payer for a non-resident withholding account, remitted the Regulation 105 amounts due, and applied for waivers covering the rest of the contract. The appeals officer allowed the objection in full. $115,000 was reversed and the account returned to a nil balance.
A Canadian resident receiving US pension income in Mississauga, Ontario was 4 weeks from a deadline. The file also carried winters spent in the United States with the day count kept casually and no residency position documented anywhere. Filing complete and on time avoided roughly $59,000 in penalties.
A Canadian resident receiving US pension income in Mississauga, Ontario came to us 4 weeks before its filing deadline. The file came with winters spent in the United States with the day count kept casually and no residency position documented anywhere. A late filing would have triggered a penalty of roughly $59,000 before interest. We worked backwards from the deadline. We applied the treaty rate to the dividend withholding, filed the NR4 return, and remitted the shortfall before the CRA assessed the payer for it. We prioritised the items that actually gated the filing and deferred everything that did not. The return was filed on time and complete. The $59,000 penalty never arose, and the compliance calendar we set means the next deadline is scheduled rather than discovered.
Growth at a Canadian corporation with US customers in Vancouver, British Columbia had outrun the back office. Invoices paid to a non-resident consultant working on site in Canada with no Regulation 105 withholding taken broke first. Headcount reached 77 with $30,500 of cash freed.
A Canadian corporation with US customers in Vancouver, British Columbia was growing fast, with headcount reaching 77 in eighteen months. The back office had not kept up. Invoices paid to a non-resident consultant working on site in Canada with no Regulation 105 withholding taken was the first thing to break. We reconstructed the day count on both sides of the border and documented the residency and treaty position before either revenue authority asked. We built the compliance calendar for the size the business was becoming rather than the size it had been. The business reached 77 staff with no missed remittance and no late filing. $30,500 of working capital was freed in the process.
Remittances at a dual citizen with a US retirement account in Calgary, Alberta were chronically late. It came down to US tax paid but no foreign tax credit claimed on the Canadian return. Fixing the schedule refunded $92,000.
Remittances at a dual citizen with a US retirement account in Calgary, Alberta were consistently late by a few days. That was enough to trigger penalties every quarter. Behind it sat US tax paid but no foreign tax credit claimed on the Canadian return. We aligned the Canadian and US reporting of the same income so the foreign tax credit claim carried support on both returns. Then we moved the remittance dates into a scheduled process rather than a monthly decision. Penalties stopped from the following remittance onwards, and $92,000 of overpaid instalments was refunded.
A remuneration review at an inbound transferee on assignment in Toronto, Ontario saved $52,000 across the corporate and personal returns. It found 25% withholding on gross Canadian rent where a section 216 election would have taxed only the net.
Nothing was wrong at an inbound transferee on assignment in Toronto, Ontario. The filings were on time and accurate. What they were not was planned. 25% withholding on gross Canadian rent where a section 216 election would have taxed only the net had never been reviewed. We filed the outstanding T1135 disclosures through the Voluntary Disclosures Program, which eliminated the penalty exposure entirely. We ran the numbers across both the corporate and personal returns, so the saving was real rather than deferred into someone else's hands. $52,000 came off the combined corporate and personal tax bill, and the structure holds for future years without further work.

Same fixed fees in every province. Find your city or your sector.
Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Intercompany Pricing Policy starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you pay only after you have reviewed and approved the deliverable. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the free 15-minute call.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit representation works.
Yes. Late filing penalties compound at 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, so the cost of waiting is real. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We serve clients in every province and territory at the same fixed fees, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you already know about. An experienced tax accountant finds the ones you do not: capital cost allowance timing, the small business deduction threshold, shareholder loan repayment rules, and TOSI exposure on family dividends. The fee is usually smaller than the deductions it surfaces.

It depends less on opinion than owners assume. The Canada–US treaty allocates taxing rights, but relief is not automatic. A foreign tax credit or treaty position has to be claimed on a filed return. Once you know that, the practical question becomes timing and documentation — both of which we handle inside the engagement.
The honest starting point is this: Non-residents earning Canadian rental income face 25% withholding on gross rent unless a section 216 election is filed. The election taxes the net instead. Everything else we would tell you is tailoring, and tailoring requires seeing your file.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
Sign in to CRA My Account, or use the CRA's mobile app, where the return shows as received, in process or assessed, and the refund amount and payment date appear once it has been assessed. The CRA also runs an automated telephone service giving the same information. A representative you have authorised through Represent a Client can check it for you. If the status has not moved past the published processing time, the return is probably under review.
CRA online filing for 2025 returns opened on 23 February 2026 and stays open until 29 January 2027. You can prepare a return before the service opens, but it cannot be transmitted, and slips such as T4s and T5s often arrive only in late February. Filing early makes sense if you expect a refund. If you expect a balance owing, you can still file early and pay by 30 April 2026.
Multiply the pre-tax price by the combined rate for the province where the supply is made, then add that amount to the price. If the price already includes tax, divide the total by one plus the rate to get the pre-tax amount, and the difference is the tax. The rate depends on the province of supply rather than where your business sits, so verify the current rate for that province and confirm the item is not zero-rated or exempt.
The landlord pays tax on rent, not the tenant. Rent received is income, reported every year on the owner's return, and the costs of earning it are deductible: mortgage interest, property tax, insurance, utilities you pay, advertising, repairs and condo fees. Improvements are added to the cost of the property and written off over time instead. Rent a tenant pays for a home is not deductible, although some provinces give a housing or occupancy credit on the provincial return.
By the last day of February following the calendar year the pay relates to. The same date applies to giving employees their copy and to filing the T4 information return with the CRA, and filing late brings a penalty that scales with the number of slips. Filed slips usually appear in CRA My Account within a few weeks. If yours has not arrived, ask your employer first, then fall back on My Account or your own pay records.
Line 43500 is your total payable. Add net federal tax from line 42000, your provincial or territorial tax, CPP contributions payable on self-employment and other earnings, any EI premiums on self-employment income, and any social benefits repayment. That total is what you owe before credits for tax already paid; subtracting your total credits gives the refund or balance owing at the end of the return.
Canada has no tax called VAT. The equivalent is GST at 5% for 2025 and 2026, combined with the provincial part as HST in Ontario at 13%, Nova Scotia at 14% since 1 April 2025, and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island at 15%. Other provinces add a separate provincial sales tax or Quebec's QST. Foreign VAT you paid abroad cannot be recovered through a Canadian GST/HST return.
Claim everything you are entitled to, and file on time so nothing is clawed back by penalties. Gather every slip, then look at RRSP contributions, childcare and moving costs, medical expenses, tuition, donations, employment or home office expenses and the disability amount. Couples should pool medical and donation claims on one return and split eligible pension income. Carry unused amounts forward instead of losing them, and adjust an earlier return if you missed something.
There is no single percentage. Your employer withholds federal and provincial income tax based on your pay, your claim amounts and your province, plus CPP at 5.95% on earnings between the $3,500 exemption and the 2026 maximum of $74,600, and EI at $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings to the 2026 maximum of $68,900. Federal rates for 2026 begin at 14% and rise through higher brackets, and each province adds its own. CPP and EI stop once the annual maximums are reached.
Tax liability is the total tax you owe for a period, worked out before any payments are credited against it. Subtract tax withheld at source and any instalments paid and you are left with the balance owing or the refund. In accounting terms it is a liability on the balance sheet until it is paid, which is why a corporation carries income tax payable, GST/HST collected and payroll source deductions as amounts held for the government.
Owing money is not a criminal offence, so an unpaid balance alone does not lead to jail. The CRA collects it through interest, garnishment of wages or bank accounts, liens and offsetting benefit payments. Imprisonment only becomes possible where tax evasion or fraud is prosecuted in criminal court and a judge imposes a sentence, which follows a deliberate act such as concealing income or filing false records. Correcting a filing before the CRA contacts you generally avoids prosecution.
Non-resident income tax is Canadian tax on Canadian-source income earned by someone who is not a resident of Canada for tax purposes. Investment income, rents, pensions and some royalties are normally taxed by withholding at source, with the payer remitting to the CRA. Employment income, business income and gains on Canadian real property are instead reported on a Canadian return. A tax treaty may reduce a withholding rate or remove the Canadian tax altogether.
