Types of Cross-Border Tax Services

Tax Returns for American Citizens Residing in Canada

We help clients file their taxes in the US, including the preparation of the Form 1040 individual income tax return and supporting schedules. We also assist in filing Canadian income tax returns and helping clients realize the full benefits of the US-Canada Income Tax Convention.

Tax Returns for Canadian Citizens Residing in the US

In Canada, income tax obligations are determined by residency status. If you are a non-resident of Canada, you are therefore required only to pay tax on income earned within Canada. This encompasses the Part XIII tax (including dividends, rental payments, pension payments, CPP/QPP benefits, and annuity payments) and Part I tax (employment income or income from a business).

Our team assists Canadian clients working in the US with determining their residency status and other cross-border income tax filing requirements. To this end, we prepare US Federal and State income tax returns and Canadian income tax returns to ensure that taxation requirements across both borders are met effectively.

We also provide services for non-resident tax compliance and planning for non-resident individuals and/or corporations doing business in Canada to support growth plans and ensure that intricate tax laws are adhered to in both countries.

Tax Returns for Canadian-owned Corporations in the US, UK, India, and Costa Rica

We have also worked with international clients to prepare corporate tax returns. For Canadian corporations with a business presence in the USA, we assist in preparing the US 1120 US Corporation Income Tax Return, supporting schedules, and the Canadian Income Tax Return. Clients also entrust us to avoid double taxation and realize the full benefits of the US-Canada Income Tax Convention.

In addition to the USA, we also offer comprehensive capabilities to service cross-border business relationships in the UK, India, Costa Rica, and several other countries through our strategic membership within the Alliott Global Alliance.

Expansion into US and India for Canadian Businesses

For Canadian clients looking to enter the US or Indian market soon, we offer a full range of tax planning and assistance to set up the entity optimally.

Whether the entity needs to be structured as a foreign division of a Canadian company, incorporated as a US/Indian company, or formed as a Limited Liability Partnership, our expertise primes companies to start conducting their business quickly and seamlessly.
