This CLE/CPE course will provide tax counsel and advisers an in-depth analysis of Canadian tax considerations for U.S.-based taxpayers. The panel will discuss the Canadian tax system as applied to U.S.-based taxpayers, doing business in Canada considerations, acquisitions and financing Canadian operations, the Canada-U.S. Treaty, and other key items to consider for U.S.-based taxpayers.

Description

Companies and private equity firms that own assets, carry on business, or have investments in Canada are subject to Canadian taxation unless a treaty exemption applies. Tax counsel and advisers must have a complete understanding of applicable tax rules to identify tax risks and carefully implement strategies to minimize tax liability.

For U.S.-based businesses with offices or assets in Canada, tax planning is key in order to avoid unintended tax liability. Canadiana tax filing obligations can arise where a U.S. resident carries on business in Canada or disposes of taxable Canadian property. With employees travelling in Canada, filing obligations can become costly and onerous.

Listen as our panel discusses the Canadian tax system as applied to U.S.-based taxpayers and offers tax planning strategies to obtain optimum tax benefits for U.S. individuals and businesses.
