H-E Plus provides a full range of tax advisory services with a focus on international and cross-border issues. Whether you are a company in need of assistance with your international assignments, an individual contemplating a move to a foreign country, a US citizen living in Canada, or an employee who has accepted employment in a foreign country, we can provide you with the support you need to make sure you understand your obligations and minimize your tax burden.
If you have accepted a contract in a foreign country, are contemplating a move, or have recently settled in Canada, talking to a tax professional can avoid costly future surprises. Arrival/departure consultations are designed to help you understand your obligations and the tax implications of your contract/move as well as identify ways to minimize your tax liability.
Individual and group consultations are also available to employers wishing to provide groups of employees with the information they need to properly understand the tax implications of their assignment in foreign countries.
Rents paid to a non-resident owner of a rental property in Canada or the United States are generally subject to a flat rate of income tax withholding. We can assist non-resident owners to determine when it is worthwhile to make the elections to pay tax at graduated tax rates provided for under US and Canadian law and provide support in completing the necessary filings.
The sale of taxable Canadian property (including real estate) by a non-resident of Canada is subject to mandatory withholding. We can work with you to reduce the withholding and apply for the necessary compliance certificates from the Canadian and Quebec authorities.
