As a recent transplant to the Champlain Islands and working for a US based company, I will probably need to commute to the Laval, QC office once or twice a week. Does anyone know the tax issues associated with this?

I know I'll need to consult a tax pro at some point, just looking for some real life tips here.

TIA

You're basically talking about business trips.

Your US company will be deducting your taxes based on your US address.

The fact you travel out of the country on occassion should be irrelevant to your taxes since you don't live in the other country.

People travel out of the country all the time for their employers and there isn't a tax issue.

It shouldn't be an issue unless you spend more than 182 days annually in Canada, in which case you may have to file tax returns in both countries. But, you would only owe taxes in the U.S. unless you earned money from investments in Canada or in another situation that I can't remember at the moment. The countries have a tax agreement to protect most people from paying taxes to each government.

Personally I would think your employer would be the best resource to ask this. I would ask now rather than wait to talk to a tax professional after the tax year is over. As you probably know the Canadian Income Tax is alot higher than in the US but you'll get free medical and free college for your kids. :wink:
