Marcos and his team at M7 Group were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when it came to preparing my personal taxes. I've always dreaded tax season since I always get so stressed about making sure I don't overlook any details and that I can take advantage of any benefits or tax credits being offered. However, Marcos and his team at M7 Group guided me through this process and made my tax return easier than ever.I would highly recommend Marcos and M7 Group for personal tax preparation services. I'm definitely coming back next year!

Canadian Departure Tax depends on your individual circumstances. Key steps include:
  1. Determine Your Residency – Understand how your residency status affects your tax obligations.

  2. Identify Exemptions – Common exemptions include principal residences (unless rented), business property as a permanent establishment, or short-term residency (60 months or less).

  3. Understand Departure Tax on Assets – This includes personal use property (art, jewelry, collectibles), foreign property, unincorporated businesses abroad, and portfolio investments (mutual funds, shares, partnerships, etc.).

Here are some key rules to keep in mind:
  • Canadian Real Estate: No yearly CRA tax filing for personal use, but non-residents must remit a 25% withholding tax on rental income and file annually with the CRA.
  • Selling Property: Notifications are required when selling Canadian real estate.
  • Canadian Mutual Funds: Non-residents can’t buy new mutual funds, REITs, or ETFs in non-registered accounts, but can hold existing investments.
  • Passive Foreign Investment Corporation: U.S. residents holding Canadian mutual funds face additional tax reporting and higher tax rates.
  • TFSA: No contributions after leaving Canada, but the account remains. However, income earned is taxable by the IRS.
  • RRSP: Similar to a U.S. IRA, but transferring to an IRA is not recommended. You can either withdraw, convert to an RRIF, or leave it as-is.

The estate is considered a sale by the CRA which means that it’s the estate that owes taxes to the government and not the beneficiaries of the estate.

The final tax return includes deemed disposition of all the assets with some exceptions the deceased owned including income till the date of the death.

You can avoid double taxation by using foreign tax credit. This makes sure that you have previously paid taxes in U.S., and now you don’t have to pay extra. Moreover, your credit cannot exceed the tax amount you paid in other country.
