Withholding on foreign workers

Charities spend a great deal of time and energy focusing on audits from the Charities Directorate. While this attention on the Directorate is justifiable it is important to recognize that charity regulation is only one function of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) and that charities are answerable to the CRA for many of its activities.

Charitable gifting: Preparing for the big IF

Sometimes these differences can cause difficulties, but when used creatively they can be the key to solving difficult problems. One such intersection involves a gift given with a condition subsequent and the revocation tax.

FATCA: A primer

Close to one million American expatriates and dual citizens live in Canada, many of whom haven’t worked, lived, or even stepped foot in the U.S. for years. Many of them don’t report their income to the IRS, mistakenly believing that they don’t have to because they don’t owe the IRS any taxes. But as of July 1, 2014, the CRA will begin collecting and sharing with the IRS information on any “U.S. person” with accounts in a Canadian financial institution.
