Hello, Allan.
We became permanent residents in Canada in January 2016. I, together with my children, decided to stay here while my husband decided to leave and stay and work in our country (India). We still have properties and a house in our country and my husband is a self employed in our country. What is his obligation as far as tax is concerned in Canada? Should he pay taxes in Canada when he already pays taxes in India? A reply from you will be greatly appreciated.
More power to you. 🙂
Since you and your children live in Canada, and since you are all PR card holders, your husband will be liable for tax in Canada on his worldwide income. He can claim a foreign tax credit on his Canadian tax return for the Indian taxes paid.
