FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the main taxes a foreign subsidiary needs to be aware of in Canada?
Key taxes include: Federal and Provincial Corporate Income Tax; Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) and potentially Provincial Sales Tax (PST/QST); Payroll Taxes (CPP, EI, Income Tax withholdings); and potential Withholding Taxes on payments made to non-residents (e.g., dividends, interest, royalties).
How is corporate income taxed differently between Canadian provinces?
While the federal government levies a base corporate tax rate, each province and territory sets its own additional corporate income tax rate. This results in varying combined federal/provincial tax rates across the country. Taxable income is generally allocated to provinces based on the proportion of revenues and payroll in each jurisdiction.
What is the difference between IFRS and ASPE, and which should my Canadian company use?
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is mandatory for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada and optional for others. ASPE (Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises) is a simplified standard specifically designed for Canadian private companies. The choice depends on factors like ownership structure, financing requirements, and international comparability needs. We help determine the appropriate standard.
What is required to comply with Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST/HST)?
Businesses exceeding the $30,000 CAD small supplier threshold in worldwide revenues generally must register for GST/HST, charge the tax on taxable supplies made in Canada, file regular returns (monthly, quarterly, or annually), and remit the net tax collected (GST/HST collected minus Input Tax Credits paid). Rules vary by province (HST vs. GST+PST/QST).
How critical is transfer pricing documentation for transactions with our foreign parent company?
Extremely critical. Canadian law requires transactions between related parties (like a Canadian subsidiary and its foreign parent) to be conducted at "arm's length" prices (as if they were unrelated). Contemporaneous documentation proving how prices were determined is mandatory under the Income Tax Act. Failure to provide adequate documentation can lead to significant tax adjustments, interest, and penalties from the CRA.
Can InterGest completely replace the need for an in-house finance team?
InterGest can provide comprehensive outsourced financial management, handling bookkeeping, reporting, compliance, and strategic advisory. For many small to medium-sized subsidiaries, this can effectively replace the need for a full in-house team. For larger or highly complex operations, we often work collaboratively with in-house personnel, augmenting their capabilities with our specialized Canadian and international expertise.
