Taxes

Dear All

I am looking for a tax preparer who is well versed in filing Canadian tax returns for those who have US source income, and is well-versed in double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA) issues between US and Canada. I will greatly appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks

Ravtosh

Interesting coverage in the G&M today about the Minister of Defence announcing tax breaks for military members who serve overseas.  I guess Global Affairs Canada staff get similar breaks, but I have never seen any consideration of extending this to people who work in development…beyond the preferential treatment for IDRC employees, that is. 

Also interesting in the G&M article is the observation by Conservative defence critic:

I am consulting mostly with the UN system and keep hearing that this revenue is NOT taxable. However, trying to dig into the CRA web site, I cannot find any tax treaty between Canada and the UN system and my accountant keeps it in as part of my taxable income. Would anybody know of such thing? Or would you know the ruling on income say from UNDP, FAO, World Bank, etc.?

Dear Jean-Jo;
