Cross-Border US Tax Planning

US tax codes are always shifting and present many compliance challenges for Canadian businesses. We assess your liability and find actionable options regarding your US personal and corporate tax obligations.

If you’re Canadian but spend a lot of time in the US, you may be considered a US tax resident. Therefore, you are required to file US taxes. The US has specific rules to determine tax residency based on the number of days you spend in the US. We can help you calculate this substantial presence test over a three-calendar year period.
