What is Part XIII Taxes

Part XIII taxes are a type of withholding tax in Canada that is deducted from certain types of income paid to non-residents of Canada. These taxes are withheld at the source by the Canadian payer of the income and are submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on behalf of the non-resident recipient. Part XIII taxes are designed to ensure that non-residents fulfill their tax obligations in Canada on income earned from Canadian sources.

Part XIII taxes apply to various types of income, including:

  1. Dividends: When a Canadian corporation pays dividends to non-resident shareholders, a withholding tax is applied. The rate of withholding tax may be reduced under tax treaties between Canada and other countries.

  2. Rental and Royalty Payments: Payments made to non-residents for the use of property in Canada, such as real estate or intellectual property, are subject to Part XIII tax.

  3. Pension Payments: If a non-resident receives a pension from Canada, such as Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Old Age Security (OAS), Part XIII tax may be withheld.

  4. Retiring Allowances: Lump-sum payments made to non-resident individuals upon retirement or termination of employment in Canada are subject to withholding tax.

  5. Interest Payments: While interest payments are generally exempt from Canadian withholding tax for arm’s length non-residents, there are exceptions.

  6. Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) Payments: Withdrawals from an RRSP made to non-residents may be subject to withholding tax.

  7. Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) Payments: Similar to RRSPs, payments from a RRIF to non-residents may be subject to withholding tax.

  8. Annuity Payments: Payments from annuities received by non-residents may also be subject to withholding tax.

Part XIII tax rates can vary depending on the type of income and the tax treaty between Canada and the non-resident’s home country. In some cases, the tax rate may be reduced or eliminated under a tax treaty to avoid double taxation.

It’s important to note that while Part XIII taxes are withheld at the source, they represent a non-resident’s final tax obligation to Canada on that particular income. Non-residents do not typically need to file a Canadian tax return solely to report income subject to Part XIII tax, unless they have specific types of Canadian income, such as rental income from real properties or certain Canadian pension income, for which they may choose to file a return.
