Interesting section to pay attention to:
Electing under section 216 of the Income Tax Act
What is a section 216 election?
As a non resident of Canada, you can choose to send us a separate Canadian tax return to report your rental income from real property in Canada. Choosing to send us this return is called electing under section 216 of the
Income Tax Act.
This return is separate from any other return you have to send us for the year. You will find two section 216 returns included in the centre of this guide.
Do you have more than one Canadian rental property?
If you have rental income from more than one rental property, complete only
one section 216 return and include the income and expenses from
all your Canadian rental properties.
What is the benefit of electing under section 216?
Electing under section 216 allows you to pay tax on your
net Canadian-source rental income instead of on the
gross amount. If the non-resident tax withheld by the payer is more than the amount of tax payable calculated on your section 216 return, we will refund the excess to you.
When is your section 216 return due?
Generally, you have to send us your section 216 return within
two years from the end of the year in which the rental income was paid or credited to you. For exceptions, see "
When is your 2009 section 216 return due?".
What if you send the return late?
If you do not send us your section 216 return by the due date, your election is invalid. If the payer did not withhold the correct amount of non-resident tax from your rental income, we will issue a non-resident tax assessment to you.
