Foreign Asset Reporting
Since 1998, Canadian taxpayers (individuals, corporations, partnerships and trusts) have been required to file Form T1135, Foreign Income Verification Statement, to report all specified foreign property owned during the tax year if the cost of such property exceeds $100,000. Not only so, the government’s reach is also extending beyond taxpayers through implementation of the Common Reporting System (CRS) requiring financial institutions in Canada to identify accounts held by non-residents and to report information such as income and sale proceeds to the CRA. Properly declaring such foreign assets and its revenues will assist taxpayers in obtaining peace of mind in ensuring that there will be no future tax liabilities or worries for the taxpayer to bear.
