The Canadian Tax Landscape of the Global Mobile Employee

When companies have their employees working in foreign jurisdictions, the tax responsibilities become increasingly complex, for both the company and the employee. In addition to corporate and individual tax risks, the company and the employee will need to ensure compliance in such areas as payroll and social taxes. Canadian tax responsibilities for the company and their employees can be significant even from minimal time spent in Canada by the employees. Understanding the Canadian payroll and personal tax rules before employees come to Canada can help manage the Canadian tax landscape and ensure compliance.
