That didn't exactly answer my question, but it did at the same time. You've basically told me to do what the CRA has told me to do.
On the one hand, my hesitation is due to three separate CRA agents explaining the claiming method differently to me. None of them were confident that the method was correct. Some didn't even read the tax treaty. One read it and clearly didn't understand it and just tried to BS me the entire time through.
On the other hand, ATO has stated that DASP payment is non-assessible income which to them means it's not seen as income, so if it's not seen as income then shouldn't it also not be deemed income in Canada?
