Canadian moving to USA working for a Canadain Company...

Post by rweston »

'm a Canadian citizen, who has a job offer from the Canadian company i work for to relocate to California as a 'special correspondent'... I will be living in LA, i will be paid in U.S. dollars, but working for a Canadian company - i will NOT be paid from an American employer.

I'm trying to crunch numbers in my head - and figure out what's best. The State and Fed tax in the U.S. are pretty huge.

What are my options here? I've been looking at everything from incorporating, to keeping a Canadian bank account.

I'm just not sure what the best thing for me to do is - and more importantly, what my options are.

-Canadian Citizen
-Canadian Company
-Living in USA
-Company pays (USA) Medical
-Own a home in Canada
-Will rent in LA

Please help... I need to give them an answer this week.

Thanks so much.
