The US will take a slice by default if she doesn't fill out the form that exempts her from withholding tax. And that's a relatively straight forward process once the incorporate-or-not situation is decide.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Just have to make sure the employer fills out the relevant forms otherwise good chance US will apply withholding tax. Good luck getting that back ever.
But US company isn’t employing her. To them she’s a foreign contractor.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Indeed, if she is an employee, there will certainly be source withholdings. If she's a foreign contractor, whether or not a W-8BEN form needs to be completed really depends on how the US employer/client is handling things on their end. I've seen more instances where the US party did withhold than not, but there are many instances where the US party sees the Canadian service provider as a vendor to whom withholding taxes won't apply.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

If taxes are withheld at source, it's a fairly straightforward process to avoid the scenario of double-taxation... Personal tax filings will need to be made on both sides of the border, and through foreign tax credits, the net result will be paying tax in the higher of the two jurisdictions (typically Alberta, but California is an example of the converse). In such a situation, the taxpayer would be "pre-paying" the tax to both authorities and then be getting a refund from some blend of one or both of them.
Yeah it seems completely random. Once in a while we'll get a notice from the IRS asking us to pay withholding tax for income from a US client.
Despite us filling out the proper forms, they'll be like "we can't find them". No fuckface, that's on you.
They're so fucking disorganized down there.
So on what basis is she immigrating to Canada?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
