British Citizen

[jemsnation]

I am a British Citzen. I had a 2 year visa and left Canada 30th of September 2019. I worked for the duration of time I was in Canada (Ontario) and more specifically, from January-September 2019. Am I a resident for tax purposes? Can I only do a paper return now that I am living in the UK again?

Well, this can be a little tricky, so I am going to provide you with different links to assist you in filing your Canadian tax return based on; a) your residency status, b) the type of income you are claiming and c) the sourced country which in this case in the UK.

We have a tax treaty with the UK, which means you may be able to claim Foreign Tax credit, depending on the type of income you will claim:
