Canada Provides Administrative Relief for Non-Resident Employees

MGI North America member McLean Bartok Edwards produces white paper on the amendments to the Canadian rules for non-resident employees.

The 2015 Canadian Federal Budget introduced administrative relief for certain non-resident employees working in Canada. Qualifying Employers can complete form RC473 to be certified to participate in the new program. Qualifying employees can then work in Canada for a short time without having to file a request for a waiver from Canadian payroll withholdings.

The amendments received royal assent on June 22, 2016 and will be effective for payments made after 2015 or as of the dates applied for.
