Subcontracting for a Canadian company

[oakweather]

I am a U.S. citizen/resident (but dual Canadian citizen) and also run a Delaware C Corp.

A Canadian company is interested in engaging me or my company on a consulting project based in BC. The amount will be paid in Canadian dollars.

From the perspective of cross-border taxation / withholding for me or for my company, is there an advantage or disadvantage in the Canadian company engaging me directly, versus engaging my Delaware C Corp?

Thank you!

Just to be clear, the Canadian company is based in BC and will be doing the consulting work in BC.
However, as its subcontractor, I or my company will be performing the work in the United States. Neither my company nor I have any permanent establishment in Canada.

There is no difference for cdn tax purposes. Since you do not have establishment in Canada, you will not be taxed there.

So, you just need to determine which is better for US taxes, which any US tax forum can probably help you with.

Sory, I me=issed the subtlety about preforming work in BC> If you spend more than 1/2 your time in Canada over a year period, the work will be taxable in Canada, regardless of how you are paid.
Watch/count your days in Canada, and sty below 50% and you will only have US taxes on this income.
