@canadianexpats: Are you moving out of Canada and trying to figure out your tax residency? 🌍 It is not just about your home or your spouse—the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) looks incredibly closely at your secondary residential ties! When determining if you are a non-resident for tax purposes, the CRA looks at things like your driver's license, your provincial healthcare, and even your golf or magazine subscriptions. In fact, in one court case, an expat who lived abroad for five years but kept using their Ontario healthcare (OHIP) for doctor's visits was deemed a Canadian tax resident and forced to pay Canadian taxes on their income! Severing your ties is not black and white. To show clear intention that you are leaving, you need to minimize as many ties as possible—right down to moving your Apple account, Netflix subscription, and credit cards over to your new country! Every single financial situation is completely unique, but I’d love to know—what secondary ties are you finding the hardest to cut? 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.
