Foreign Income

When it asks, "What was your income from foreign-sources and Canadian sourced Part XIII income for the part of the year that you were not a Canadian resident?" do I enter my GROSS foreign income or my NET foreign income?

Anytime you must enter your foreign income sources within or outside of Canada, it is always gross income before taxes. Because based on the income source and the country that income came from will determine if you get a Foreign tax credit or not.

Part XIII tax is a withholding tax imposed on certain amounts you par or credit to non-residents.

Part XIII – Section 216 is Canadian rental income from real or immovable properties or timber royalties.
