2. If your parents still live in China most of the time in their own home and just visiting you from time to time, they should be considered as non-resident of Canada for tax purposes. Even they may have residential ties in Canada, the tie breakers rules under the Canada-China tax treaty will likely treat them as resident of China. In this case it's more complicated so I strongly recommend you to consult with a tax professional. Here are my view: as non-resident of Canada earning rental income from a Canadian property, 25% of the gross rent should be withheld and submitted to CRA (see CRA link below). Your parents also have the option to make a tax election to be taxed on a net income basis, in this case 25% still need to be withheld and paid to CRA but your parents can file a tax return to calculate the net income and claim a refund from the CRA.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
