What's Inside
All 5 steps
- Get a written tax-residency determination before you go — citizenship isn't the test
- Appoint a Canadian-resident agent: it moves the withholding obligation off your tenant
- File Form NR6 before January 1 — withholding comes off your net, not your gross
- Get the tenant's written consent to email service at signing (there is no retrofit)
- Tell your agent your Section 216 filing date — a late return is charged to them
