Non-resident Canadian with QC rental income. Do I need to pay provincial taxes on my foreign income?

[Mark51]

I moved to a tax free country in 2006 and have my declaration of non-residency. no ties whatsoever.  However, last year I bought a rental property in QC.  I understand I will pay federal taxes on the net rental income. I’m confused as to if I need to also pay taxes in QC AND/OR pay taxes on my world revenues.

25% of Net Rental Income is to be paid, the rules are the same for Quebec.

Please see below from TurboTax Tips for more information on non-resident rental income obligations.

I must have formulated my question wrong. I was talking about Income taxes and not GST/PST.  I believe I found the answer below but will double check with a CPA versed in expat taxation. https://www.revenuquebec.ca/en/citizens/your-situation/residence-status-and-income-tax/obligations-o...

I do apologize, I realized I did not give you the correct answer after I had sent it. After researching, please see revised answer above. And YES that is an excellent link I will add it to the original answer as extra information.

Thanks! It still seems like I need not pay anything in QC as it is not employment income, it is not from business operations, and I did not dispose of the property (hopefully never).

I would suggest you contact them directly for clarity.  Here is the link to reach them:

Just to confirm, I called Revenu Quebec and they confirmed that a non resident individual does NOT have to declare their world revenues, NOR report their rental property income and expenses for income tax purposes.  That would be a different scenario if the person had their rental property as an enterprise.
