I am a Canadian living full-time in South Africa, with income from Canadian and South African sources. I entered my South African income as "foreign income" in Turbo Tax, which is about $7000. However, under the provincial section, I am asked again for a "statement of world income."
Should I write in $7000 again, in the World Income section? It causes my payment amount to increase by $3000 when I do so, and I already pay tax for this income in South Africa, for which I understand a tax treaty exists between the two countries.
Looks to me like you are a non-resident of Canada. In that case, you do not have foreign income (from a Canadian perspective) so there is no need to report your South African income as foreign income. However, you would need to enter your SA income in the World Income Statement.
Only residents of Canada will have to report foreign income, if they have any.
