Businesses with US Operations:

For many Canadian businesses, the US market represents a substantial opportunity, but even working with just a few American clients from a base in Canada can generate complex US tax obligations. Determining how to file for US federal tax purposes is the first step. Determining in which states to file and which state taxes apply can be a very daunting task, as all states have their own tax systems as if they were each a separate country.

GGFL can assist Canadian companies as follows:

  • Determine if your company has a “permanent establishment” under the Canada-US Tax Treaty (“the Treaty”) and is subject to US federal tax, or if it is exempt from federal tax under the Treaty
  • Determine your company’s state tax obligations
  • Prepare your annual US corporate federal and state tax returns
  • Develop the best structure for conducting business in the US
  • Advise on repatriating profits back to Canada
