HOME > EMPLOYER CERTIFICATION
DOES YOUR COMPANY OPERATE IN CANADA AND WANT TO CONTROL ITS COSTS? WE HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR NON-RESIDENT EMPLOYER CERTIFICATION AND STAY COMPLIANT WITH THE CRA (CANADA REVENUE AGENCY).
Non-Resident Employer Certification in Canada is a procedure established by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to allow foreign (non-resident) employers to avoid withholding and remitting Canadian taxes on the remuneration paid to their employees when they work temporarily in Canada.
The purpose of this certification is to simplify administrative procedures for non-resident employers who send their employees to Canada on short-term assignments. It avoids the complexities associated with Canadian tax withholding on salaries that may already be taxed in the country of residence of the employer or the employee.
To be eligible for this certification, the non-resident employer must generally:
The employer must not have a permanent presence in Canada, such as a branch or a fixed office.
Employees must be present in Canada for a limited and determined period, often defined as less than 183 days over a 12-month period.
Often, a tax treaty must exist between Canada and the country of residence of the employer or the employee in order to avoid double taxation.
Do you want to enter the Canadian market without excessive administrative formalities, but are you facing the following difficulties?
Understanding the specific requirements and subtleties of Canadian tax rules can prove difficult without specialised expertise.
Errors in the information provided, such as incorrect tax identification numbers, may result in incorrect tax withholdings and penalties.
Changes to the company structure or the status of beneficiaries may require regular updates to forms, which can prove tedious.
For international entities, coordinating tax information with local and Canadian regulations can prove complex.
Not knowing the tax treaties between Canada and other countries may result in the incorrect application of withholding tax rates.
Meeting strict filing deadlines in order to avoid additional penalties and withholdings can constitute a logistical challenge.
