Frequently Asked Questions

How does the foreign tax credit work?
Canada taxes your worldwide income, but provides a credit for taxes paid to other countries. The credit is the lesser of the foreign tax you paid or the Canadian tax attributable to that foreign income.
Can I claim more credit than Canadian tax on the foreign income?
No. The foreign tax credit is limited to the Canadian tax that would have been payable on the foreign income. Any excess foreign tax cannot be used as a credit.
Do I need to report all foreign income?
Yes. Canadian residents must report worldwide income from all sources. You may be eligible for the foreign tax credit to avoid double taxation.
