Az elmúlt néhány órában kihullott a hajam fele...
Kitöltöttük az éves adóbevallásunkat, és csak néztünk. Hogy milyen sok pénzt követel Kanada a külföldön szerzett jövedelem után. Elolvastam mindent, törvényeket (különös tekintettel az USA-Kanada kettős adóztatásra), fórumokat böngésztem, és a konklúzió: sucks. Legalábbis minimum egy számla egy adótanácsadótól. Mármint ittenitől.
Aztán gondoltam, hiszen a mi oldalunk a
www.gc.ca, eddig minden rajta volt...
A következőket találtam.

két dolog fontos:
Are you a resident of Canada?
You become a resident of Canada for income tax purposes when you establish significant residential ties in Canada. You usually establish these ties on the date you arrive in Canada.
What are residential ties?
Residential ties include:
- a home in Canada;
- a spouse or common-law partner (see the definition in the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide) and dependants who move to Canada to live with you;
- personal property, such as a car or furniture; and
- social ties in Canada.
"Other" ties that may be relevant include a Canadian driver's licence, Canadian bank accounts or credit cards, and health insurance with a Canadian province or territory.
Newcomers to Canada who have established residential ties with Canada may be:
- protected persons;
- people who have applied for or received permanent resident status from Citizenship and Immigration Canada; or
- people who have received approval-in-principle from Citizenship and Immigration Canada to stay in Canada.
If you were a resident of Canada in an earlier year, and you are now a non-resident, you will be considered a Canadian resident when you move back to Canada and re-establish your residential ties.
Income
You have to report your world income for the part of the year that you were
a resident of Canada. World income is income from all sources, both inside and outside Canada.
For the part of the year that you were
not a resident of Canada, you have to report
only the following income:
- income from employment in Canada or from a business carried on in Canada;
- taxable capital gains from disposing of taxable Canadian property; and
- the taxable part of scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, and research grants you received from Canadian sources.
Note
For the part of the year that you were
not a resident of Canada, do not include on your tax return any gain or loss from disposing of taxable Canadian property, or a loss from a business carried on in Canada if, under a tax treaty, the gain from that disposition or any income from that business is exempt from tax in Canada.
If you are a protected person and you received funds from a charitable organization such as a church group, you generally do not have to report the amounts on your tax return. However, if a charitable organization hired you as an employee, the employment income you received is taxable.
Meg kell állapítsam, a rendszer mégiscsak fair, és most itt ünnepályesen bocsánatot kérek a kanadai kormánytól mindazért, amit nem csak gondoltunk róluk :656: .
Tehát a lényeg, hogy a fentebbi linket érdemes minden betelepülőnek megnézni, ugyanis itt derül ki, milyen alapon és mi után kell adózni - vagy hogy egyáltalán mikortól számít residentnek.
Volt egy pont, amikor úgy festett, hogy már 2004-re be kellett volna adnunk bevallást, sőt, cirka párezer dolcsi adót is fizetni kellett volna (holott majd egy évig utána itt se voltunk), és EZ AZ EGYETLEN link, ahol pontosan leírják a fenti két információt, pedig én nem ma kezdtem az internetes keresőket használni.
Rájöttem, mégis inkább adótanácsadónak kéne visszamennem hosszú távon
