Canadian working in Canada on a payroll with US company.

Post by Augusta12 »

Hello,
I am a Canadian Resident living and working for the Canadian company (Client), but I am on the payroll with US Staffing Company (the Vendor), on 1099. Shall I report to both countries? How to avoid double taxation?
Thank you.

Well you aren't really on payroll, you are being paid as acontrator.
You are not taxable in US at all by treaty.
You would file a 1040NR and by answering the questions you would prove yourself non-tatxable in US, and be done with it.

You would report all your income to Canada
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
