    Contracting in Canada

    Thanks, I think it is 50/50 whether I will end up being tax resident in Canada this year. I could certainly stay here more than 180 days or I could choose not to. It looks like if I am tax resident in Canada and I use a Canadian corporation, I would pay as little as 15% Canadian corporation tax...

    Contracting in Canada

    Thanks, this is good information. From what I read, because the control of my UK Ltd. Company is now in Canada(i.e. me), the company is now subject to Canadian corporation tax. Although I appreciate double taxation relief will apply it sounds like a bit of a headache. I am not maintaining any...

    Contracting in Canada

    Like I said, my client is not based in Canada or the UK. I was contracting remotely for them from the UK through my Ltd. company and have kept them on as a client now that I have moved to Canada. Basically I need to see an accountant here to determine the most tax efficient thing to do, as this...

    Contracting in Canada

    I am going to be in Canada for 6 months or so before moving to the US. I am currently contracting through my UK Ltd. company for a client based outside Canada(and outside the UK/EU). Should I just continue using my UK Ltd. company in Canada, pay UK corp tax and pay Canadian tax on personal...

    Claiming for Home Office and Rented Workspace

    Thanks this is exactly the kind of advice I needed. Final question, could I just claim for the home office and not for the external office. The apportioned cost of the home office is actually much higher than the external.offices pace as the external.officespace was for evening hours only.

    Moving Abroad to be in Same Time Zone as Client

    I might set up a new company once I'm there. Just curious if I could have claimed for relocation. The purpose of my relocation is to be on the same timezone as my client. This is the sole reason i am relocating to the country i am moving to. Can anyone else say whether they would claim for this?

    Claiming for Home Office and Rented Workspace

    My accountant gave me this copy and paste answer to the specific question. She didn't really answer the question at hand i.e. can I claim for both. "You are allowed to claim for your home office, HMRC guideline rates are £18 per month to cover heating and lighting. You are also allowed to...

    Moving Abroad to be in Same Time Zone as Client

    And yes the move is permanent. Or at least I have no plans to return to the UK for the forseeable. Just curious what others would do.

    Moving Abroad to be in Same Time Zone as Client

    I already have a visa for the country I'm moving to so that's not an issue. If this client relationship ends, I would likely continue as a contractor out there. Consensus seems to be no? I can certainly do the work remotely from the UK but it has not been ideal working basically 4pm -2am.
