Can CA VPDI be claimed as foreign tax credit on CRA tax return?

Post by tsuchiya »

Can we claim foreign tax credit on CRA tax returns for CA VPDI reported on a W2? In my understanding, CA VPDI or SDI was deducted from my payroll in form of CA tax. Any comment is appreciated.

VDPI is voluntary, therefore it is not a qualifying tax for foreign tax purposes.
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
