Tax iQ – Doing Business in Canada Questionnaire
A comprehensive online questionnaire used to assist a non-resident in identifying the various Canadian tax and other non-tax considerations when doing business in the Canadian market.
- Do you have Canadian customers?
- Do you have anyone working for you in Canada?
- Do you have any assets (including inventory) located in Canada?
- Do you perform services in Canada?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you may be subject to Canadian tax and certain non-tax considerations associated with your Canadian business activity. If you would like to complete our interactive online Tax iQ – Doing Business in Canada Questionnaire, we can help you quickly identify the areas that you should direct your attention to (e.g., corporate income tax (including permanent establishment determination), withholding tax, sales tax, payroll tax, customs, immigration, tax registrations, entity selection, etc.), allowing you to concentrate on core business issues when doing business in the Canadian market. Please contact a member of our Pathfinder team if you would like us to send you our comprehensive questionnaire.
