We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Do I need to declare foreign bank accounts to Canada?

The CRA requires filing a T1135 form with your income tax returns. Failure to report your foreign income can attract a minimum penalty of $100 and $25 for each day of delay up to a maximum of $2,500.

What is the penalty for unreported foreign income?

You may be subject to an initial penalty equal to the greater of $10,000 or 35% of the total distributions you failed to report on Form 3520 Part III.

Is T1135 based on book value or market value?

No, it is based on the cost amount. The cost amount is defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act and generally is the adjusted cost base and not the fair market value.

Does Canada track foreign income?

In 2018, Canada joined the AEoI process, and the CRA will automatically access without any notice or judicial oversight account holders names, transaction participants, the location of offshore assets, and foreign income.

Do I need to report US income in Canada?

US tax forms like the 1099 series must be reported as foreign income on the Canadian T1 form. The 1042-S form corresponds to the Canadian T4A slip, and the W2 form corresponds to the Canadian T4 slip. Canada has tax treaties with countries like the USA to avoid double taxation.
