The T1135 applies once specified foreign property passes $100,000 in cost, and the simplified method is available up to $250,000. Section 216 and 217 elections can substantially reduce non-resident withholding on Canadian rents and pensions when filed on time. Our t1135 foreign income verification statement engagement is priced as a low-cost flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
What follows is the working view of an accounting firm who prepares t1135 foreign income verification statement week in, week out — the points that decide real files.
The first thing we verify on every engagement: 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 detail that surprises most owners comes next. 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. Ask what a reviewer will want to see, and the answer sits in this rule: 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.
In practice, this is why t1135 foreign income verification statement rewards an accounting firm rather than a generic preparer: each of these points is a judgement call before it is a keystroke. Gathering the following ahead of time turns the first t1135 foreign income verification statement conversation from fact-finding into decision-making.
Our terms are the same for every engagement: a fixed fee agreed before work begins, a full review with you before filing, and payment only after the service is complete.

A $126,000 reassessment landed at a dual citizen with a US retirement account in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It rested on winters spent in the United States with the day count kept casually and no residency position documented anywhere. The objection was allowed in full.
A dual citizen with a US retirement account in Halifax, Nova Scotia had been reassessed for $126,000. 9 days were left on the objection deadline. The reassessment rested on winters spent in the United States with the day count kept casually and no residency position documented anywhere. We filed the objection inside the deadline with a complete submission rather than a placeholder. Alongside it, we aligned the Canadian and US reporting of the same income so the foreign tax credit claim carried support on both returns. The appeals officer allowed the objection in full. $126,000 was reversed and the account returned to a nil balance.
A family transfer at a snowbird spending winters in Arizona in Moncton, New Brunswick would have been fully taxable. The reason was a shareholder loan balance that would have been picked up as income on closing. Restructuring deferred $800,000.
A generational transfer at a snowbird spending winters in Arizona in Moncton, New Brunswick had been discussed for years without a plan. A shareholder loan balance that would have been picked up as income on closing meant the transfer as contemplated would have been fully taxable. 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 sequenced the steps so each one was complete and documented before the next depended on it. $800,000 of tax was deferred through the transfer, and the successor generation took over a corporation whose records stood up to review.
Foreign holdings at a US citizen living in Canada in Ottawa, Ontario had crossed the reporting threshold unnoticed. Disclosure was brought current and $126,000 recovered.
Foreign holdings at a US citizen living in Canada in Ottawa, Ontario had passed the reporting threshold without anyone noticing. Behind the disclosure problem sat foreign accounts that had passed the $100,000 T1135 threshold three years earlier. We reported the deemed disposition properly on the departure return and claimed the foreign tax credits that had been left unused. We claimed the treaty relief and foreign tax credits on the Canadian return and corrected the disclosure position for the open years. The treaty position was accepted and $126,000 was recovered. Reporting is now current and the annual process takes hours rather than weeks.
A Canadian resident receiving US pension income in Kitchener, Ontario was scaling. The growth exposed US tax paid but no foreign tax credit claimed on the Canadian return. The back office was rebuilt to match, freeing $27,000.
A Canadian resident receiving US pension income in Kitchener, Ontario was opening in a second province. That meant different filing obligations and a different payroll regime. US tax paid but no foreign tax credit claimed on the Canadian return already sat in the file. We restructured the US holding so the Canadian and US characterisations aligned, ending the double taxation going forward. We then put monthly reporting in place. That let the owner see the cash effect of growth while there was still time to act on it. Growth was absorbed without a compliance failure. $27,000 of cash was released, and the monthly reporting now flags a problem while it is still small.
27 months of records at a contractor working on both sides of the border in Calgary, Alberta had never been reconciled. That left a US LLC taxed as a corporation in Canada, producing double tax on the same income. Rebuilding recovered $7,500.
Nothing reconciled at a contractor working on both sides of the border in Calgary, Alberta. Every filing started with 27 months of cleanup. The file was carrying a US LLC taxed as a corporation in Canada, producing double tax on the same income. We rebuilt from source rather than correcting on top of the existing file. We filed the outstanding T1135 disclosures through the Voluntary Disclosures Program, which eliminated the penalty exposure entirely. Then we set the routine that keeps it clean. 27 months reconciled to the bank. The close now takes 9 days, and $7,500 of previously unclaimable input tax was recovered in the process.
A shareholder of a US LLC in London, Ontario needed a holding structure. It had to deal with invoices paid to a non-resident consultant working on site in Canada with no Regulation 105 withholding taken. The reorganisation was tax-neutral and removed $35,000 of annual exposure.
The structure at a shareholder of a US LLC in London, Ontario needed fixing. The file was carrying invoices paid to a non-resident consultant working on site in Canada with no Regulation 105 withholding taken. Every option for fixing it ran through a reorganisation that had to be done without triggering tax. We worked with the client's lawyer. Together, we reconstructed the day count on both sides of the border and documented the residency and treaty position before either revenue authority asked. We also prepared the elections, resolutions and valuations the structure needed to stand up. The structure now matches the business. Annual saving of $35,000, and the reorganisation itself was tax-neutral.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
T1135 Foreign Income Verification Statement 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.

A tax professional answers this differently than a search engine, because the rule has edges. A payment to a non-resident for services performed in Canada is subject to 15 percent withholding under Regulation 105. That applies whether or not the non-resident ends up owing Canadian tax. A waiver has to be applied for before the payment is made, and the payer that withheld nothing is the one assessed. Where your business sits relative to those edges is what we establish in the first meeting.
There is a widespread assumption here, and the actual position is worth stating plainly. Departure from Canada triggers a deemed disposition of most property at fair market value. The resulting gain has to be reported on the final resident return. If your current setup was built on the assumption instead of the rule, that is fixable — but sooner is better than later.

For the 2025 tax year the filing and payment deadline is 30 April 2026. If you or your spouse were self-employed, the filing deadline moves to 15 June 2026, but any balance owing is still due 30 April 2026. Interest starts the day after the payment deadline, and a late-filing penalty applies on top when a return with a balance owing is filed late. File on time even with nothing owing, because income-tested benefits are recalculated from the filed return.
Canadian income tax is built up in layers. You total your income for the year, subtract the deductions you qualify for to arrive at taxable income, then apply the federal brackets and your province's brackets to that figure. Each bracket rate applies only to the income sitting inside it, so earning more never retaxes the dollars below. Non-refundable credits, starting with the basic personal amount, come off the tax afterwards. Look up the CRA bracket table for the tax year you are filing.
Most people pay through online or telephone banking, adding the CRA as a payee and choosing the exact account and year, such as a personal balance owing or an instalment. The alternatives are CRA My Payment with a debit card, pre-authorised debit scheduled in My Account, a credit card or e-transfer through a third-party provider that charges its own fee, or paying at your bank with a remittance voucher. For the 2025 tax year the balance was due 30 April 2026.
There is no single rate. Federal personal income tax for 2026 runs through five brackets: 14%, then 20.5%, 26%, 29% and 33% on the highest band, and your province's brackets stack on top, so your combined marginal rate is the federal rate plus the provincial one. The 2026 federal basic personal amount is $16,452, tapering to $14,829 as net income rises from $181,440 to $258,482. Capital gains and Canadian dividends are taxed on a different basis.
For personal income tax, your account number is your social insurance number. For a business it is the nine-digit business number plus the two-letter program identifier and four-digit reference, so corporation tax, GST/HST and payroll each have their own account. Select the matching payment type and the correct tax year or period as well: a payment posted to the wrong program or year leaves the balance you meant to clear still outstanding and still accruing interest.
HST stands for harmonized sales tax: the federal 5% GST blended with a participating province's sales tax into one rate the CRA administers. For 2026 that is 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025, and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. Provinces that did not harmonise keep a separate provincial tax on top of the 5% GST, and Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut charge 5% only.
No. The CRA's agent-staffed phone lines run on set weekday hours, with extended hours during the personal filing season, and they close on public holidays; the exact times for each line are published on the CRA's Contact us page. Some automated telephone services, along with My Account, My Business Account and Represent a Client, are available around the clock, so you can check a balance, a benefit payment or a notice without speaking to anyone.
Owning your home creates no deduction by itself, and mortgage interest and property tax on a personal residence are not deductible in Canada. You do have to report the sale of a home on the return for the year you sell, even when the principal residence exemption removes the whole gain. A home office used for employment or business, a rented portion, or a first home purchase can each change the return.
Most of your options are claims made on the return rather than expenses. Contribute to an RRSP to cut taxable income, use a TFSA for tax-free growth, and open an FHSA if you are saving for a first home. Claim tuition, eligible medical expenses, childcare, donations, and union or professional dues where they apply. Employment expenses are deductible only when your employer certifies them. You can also ask the CRA to reduce the tax withheld from your pay.
That figure is your payroll deduction rate, not a tax bracket. Canada's federal rates for 2026 start at 14% and rise through 20.5%, 26% and 29% to 33%, and what leaves your cheque blends federal and provincial tax with CPP at 5.95% and EI at $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings for 2026. Payroll also annualises each cheque, so a bonus or overtime period is taxed as if every period looked the same. Filing squares it up.
No. Rent from a room in your home is taxable income reported on your personal return, though you deduct a reasonable share of expenses such as mortgage interest, property tax, insurance, utilities and repairs, normally split by floor area or room count. Claiming capital cost allowance on the house is usually a poor idea because it can put part of your principal residence exemption at risk. Keep records for six years after the tax year ends.
