The team at Lohn Caulder would like to congratulate one of our own – Paolo Amoruso on successfully passing the UFE, the last exam ever to be written for the CA program. We could not be more proud and are excited to add another CPA, CA to the team. Great work Paolo!
On behalf of everyone at Lohn Caulder LLP, we would like to congratulate Kelly Lohn, one of our founding partners, on receiving the distinction of FCA.
The F in FCA stands for Fellowship and is awarded to individuals within the CA accounting designation for their many years of work with the CA Institute, their career, their community service, or their professional or academic contributions to the field of accounting.
Kelly has always been very active in the accounting profession at both the provincial and national levels, contributing his time to a number of committees and volunteering locally. You can read the history of Kelly’s accounting career at CPABC’s website on page 20 of the February 2015 digital booklet.
We cannot think of a person more deserving than Kelly and all of us at Lohn Caulder LLP are honoured to be a part of his team.
If you are a non-resident with a Canadian rental property here is a guide of your tax filing obligations, important due dates and other issues you should be aware of.
Tax Filing Obligations
- The tenant or property manager has an obligation to withhold non-resident tax at a rate of 25% on the gross rental income paid to a non-resident;
- The tax should be sent to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on or before the 15th day of the month following the month the rental income is paid;
- The payer would have to prepare a NR4 slip to provide you the gross amount of the rental income and the amount that was remitted to the CRA, annually.
You could then elect under Section 216 of the Income Tax Act to pay tax on only your net rental income instead of the gross amount. Please note that you only have a two year period to make this election.
