@canadianexpats: Planning to keep your Canadian dividend stocks when you move abroad? Here is a helpful breakdown of exactly how your investment income is taxed once you become a non-resident! While Canadian residents benefit from the Dividend Tax Credit, non-residents are subject to a Part XIII non-resident withholding tax. By default, your brokerage will withhold 25% of your gross dividends. However, with proper planning, you can optimize this! If you move to a country with a Canadian tax treaty, your financial institution can often reduce that withholding tax to 15%. To ensure you get this reduced rate, always keep your bank updated with your current foreign address so they issue you an NR4 slip instead of a T5. Every single financial situation is completely unique, but I’d love to know—are you planning to keep your Canadian portfolio when you move? Let's discuss in the comments! 👇 Disclaimer: This content is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial, or other professional advice.
