Canadian Departure Returns
When you leave Canada, there are critical financial considerations that must be dealt with correctly.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires you to accurately report most assets, excluding cash and most retirement plans, that collectively exceed a value of $25,000. When you leave, you are treated as having disposed of and subsequently reacquired these assets on the date of your departure. Subsequently, this could result in a taxable gain requiring careful assessment and management.
Furthermore, you must complete the departure form, known as the T1161, irrespective of whether you are deemed to have disposed of any property. Timely submission of this form is of utmost importance. It should be filed on or before the due date for your annual tax return in the year you leave Canada to steer clear of potential penalties and ensure compliance with Canadian tax regulations.
Our tax services are tailored to meet the diverse needs of Canadian citizens who are relocating or working abroad. We can help you with your Canadian Departure Return and provide specialised tax advice and compliance services to assist you with your move to the UK.
