Taxation in Canada is relatively straightforward.For example, the Canadian Government taxes its residents at federal and provincial levels on their worldwide income.Yet non-residents are taxed on Canadian-sourced income and on gains from the disposition of taxable Canadian property.You’re classed as a resident in Canada if you reside there or are ordinarily a resident in the country. If you’re a non-resident, you’ll be deemed to be a resident if you spend at least 183 days in Canada in a calendar year.Authorities determine provincial income tax rates separately and then add these to federal rates. They levy capital gains taxes, but at a reduction of 50 percent of capital gains, less allowable capital losses.
