I am an international student, studying in Canada and I am eligible to work part-time. I have received a job offer from a Denmark-based Healthcare company. I have some questions regarding working outside Canada and filing taxes.
1. Is there any requirement that needs to be filled if working for Denmark remotely?
2. Is it possible for a Denmark-based company to get into contact with a Canadian-based Professional Organization (PEO) and handle employee payroll and insurance within Canada so that I get taxed in Canada? But do companies go through with these? What are your thoughts and recommendations? Or is there any other way to get my taxes filed properly?
Hi Syed,
If you will work from Canada for a Denmark based employer and the employer does not have an office or branch in Canada, then the employer should set up a Canadian payroll account to employ you or they should engage the services of a PEO in Canada to employ you. As a Canadian tax resident you are taxable in Canada on your global income.
