Thanks mate, much appreciated. Just one thing, is it definitely a requirement that estimated income has to be reported to CRA on a quarterly basis? Can't I just do the annual tax return?

You make a good point though. I wonder if using a canadian umbrella company would work...

Thanks for sharing your views on this. No, the umbrella company has no Canadian presence at all. They would be my employer but are based in the UK. So the options available seem to be for them to pay me the gross amount into a UK account, which they want to do, and then I pay tax and CPP...

The client wants me to work through an umbrella company so I cannot take the self employed option. So I will be employed. And the umbrella company would like to pay me the gross amount and is happy to do so. Id then complete my tax return in canada at the end of the year and pay everything I...

Awesome reply, thanks for taking the time! Very helpful. Being self employed in Canada is an option I'm aware of, and then billing the UK client. But yes, whether it will technically satisfy CRA that it is a true form of self employment. I do know that the US is especially complex and scary...

Thanks for the responses. I am a Canadian PR and a British citizen. Have been in Canada since August but will probably return to the UK for good around August or September this year. Jclarke, in addition to the options you outline, wouldn't the following two also be possible: - UK employer...

Thanks for the idea. How about the idea of paying tax, EI, and CPP through tax return? Or does my employer have to be registered in some way in canada?

Hi all, In the next week or so I will start working for a UK company whose operations are entirely in the UK, whilst living in BC. I am trying to decide whether to be paid in sterling to a UK account and then later transfer the money to here for when my taxes are due. However, this got me...

The comment doesn't have anything to do with the questions I've asked and I'm not sure why you've directed me to it. I haven't suggested that I don't want to pay tax - I want to pay the correct tax. That means paying income tax and the other contributions that come out of my pay packet, along...

Is this based on your experience? I've read a lot of the guidance provided by the Canadian government about this and have looked over the residency determination forms. The question of health care coverage and a drivers licence are just one of many factors that would be taken into consideration...

Thanks for the response. Is that even if I've only had the coverage since November 2020? - so less than two months of the tax year?

Hi, I have been living and working in Canada since 2nd August 2020. I was previously based entirely in the UK, apart from a 2-month soft landing in Canada in 2017 when I didn't work or establish any ties (I did get a SIN number though). - By the end of this tax year I will have been in Canada...

Thank you for those sinister and creepy remarks. Tell me, do 90% of BC folk realise that you've bugged their homes?

Really? Where and how have I disregarded my legal obligations? Where have I even suggested that I would? You are literally hallucinating. Please relax. I'm genuinely concerned for your well being right now. This is not healthy.

Your political comments are bizarre. "I don't like what you've said, therefore: Donald Trump!"... Great. I've said I will be respectfully observing the rules. Can you not read? You know, people in free countries also have an obligation to think, question things, and employ common sense /...

Yes, I will respectfully follow the rules and observe common sense social distancing, hygiene, and mask wearing during my transit to quarantine - which i will also observe.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the response :) Can I just check... Would the same apply to Vancouver Island? So fly to Vancouver and then take a ferry across. Is it acceptable to use public transport providing no symptoms and use of face mask? Or to go from the airport to collect a hire car from town? Is this...

Hello, I have a job offer in Northern BC. Will it be acceptable for me to fly to Vancouver, then change on to a flight north and then to quarantine in that area at an Air BnB? My new employer mentioned that it may be necessary for me to quarantine at a government facility in Vancouver? I...

Splendid. That works out same as the better case scenario. Thanks mate. Edit: actually, it's even better!
