Canada–HK Tax Advisory

Canada has some of the world's strictest foreign reporting obligations and departure tax rules. Canadian residents in HK or Canadians with HK assets face CRA reporting, FAPI on HK companies, and a deemed disposal on leaving Canada.

⚠️

⚠ T1135 Non-Filing Penalty: CAD 2,500 Per Year + 5% of Assets

Canadian residents with foreign property exceeding CAD 100,000 must file Form T1135 annually. Failure to file: CAD 2,500 per month (up to CAD 12,000) + 5% of highest unreported asset value if wilful. HK bank accounts, HK company shares, and HK real property all count.

よくあるお悩み

以下の税務問題でお困りではありませんか？

Departure Tax

When a Canadian resident leaves Canada (e.g., to work in HK), they are deemed to have disposed of all their worldwide assets at fair market value on the departure date — triggering Canadian CGT on unrealised gains.

⚠ Risk: HK company shares with accrued gains → departure tax on gains even without cash received

T1135 Foreign Reporting

Canadian residents with foreign assets exceeding CAD 100,000 must file T1135. HK bank accounts, HK company shares, and HK real property all qualify. Penalties for late filing are severe.

⚠ Risk: Non-filing → CAD 2,500/month penalty + 5% of asset value if wilful

FAPI on HK Companies

Foreign Accrual Property Income (FAPI) rules attribute passive income from HK companies to Canadian shareholders for immediate Canadian taxation — similar to US GILTI.

⚠ Risk: HK holding company passive income → attributed to Canadian shareholder annually

Dividend Timing to Canada

Dividends from a HK company to a Canadian shareholder attract 25% Canadian WHT (reduced to 15% under Canada–HK Tax Agreement). Planning the dividend timing and amount is critical.

⚠ Risk: No treaty analysis → paying 25% vs 15% WHT on repatriated HK profits

ご質問への迅速な回答

When a Canadian tax resident emigrates (e.g., moves to HK), they are deemed to have disposed of all their property at fair market value on the date of departure. If you own HK company shares with accrued gains, those gains are taxed as Canadian capital gains in your final Canadian return — at 50% inclusion rate, up to 27% effective rate.

If you are a non-resident of Canada, you file a Canadian return only if you have Canadian-source income (rental, employment from Canadian employer, RRSP withdrawals, CPP). If you have no Canadian-source income and are non-resident, you may not need to file — but should confirm your non-resident status was properly established on departure.

Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) must be filed by Canadian residents with "specified foreign property" exceeding CAD 100,000 at any point in the year. This includes HK bank accounts, HK company shares (if not a controlled subsidiary), HK real property, and HK-listed securities. RRSP, pension plans, and property used in an active business are excluded.

FAPI (Foreign Accrual Property Income) includes passive income earned by a "controlled foreign affiliate" — a foreign company ≥10% owned by the Canadian taxpayer. Passive income (interest, dividends, rents, royalties) of the HK company is attributed to the Canadian shareholder and taxed in Canada at their marginal rate. Active business income is excluded from FAPI.

Yes — the Canada–Hong Kong Tax Agreement (2013) provides reduced WHT rates: 5% on dividends (25%+ corporate shareholding), 15% for other dividends, 10% on interest, and 10% on royalties. Without the agreement, Canada's standard WHT rate is 25% on all payments.

Your RRSP can remain in Canada after you become a non-resident. Withdrawals while non-resident attract 25% non-resident WHT (reduced to 15% under the Canada–HK Tax Agreement). HK does not tax RRSP withdrawals (HK territorial system). You cannot continue contributing to RRSP once you lose Canadian residence (no Canadian earned income).
