CANADIAN RELOCATION
PERSONAL TAX INFORMATION

Canadian residents are required to pay tax on any income world-wide. Retirement pension funds are not taxed. If you are considered a non-resident you are still required to pay tax on your Canadian income. A non-resident is defined as someone who:

• owns a Canadian residence
• has a spouse and/or dependants
• has personal property
• has economic interests and social ties.

You are a resident if you have spent 183 days or more in a calendar year in Canada, regardless of where the permanent residence is.

Income tax ranges from 16% of total income to a maximum of 53.19%. Income tax is also payable on a provincial level.
