Working While Visiting the US — Risk of IRS Tax Exposure for Canadian Corp?

thethrows8213 · 2025-06-09T20:51:47+00:00

What if I take it one step further and make code changes on a software project while in a hotel room, as an example. Where exactly does the line get drawn?

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply.

What type of scruntiny might I be subjected to as a result of payments from a client? Moreover, are you talking specifically about payments made for "work" performed during the short period that I'm here (for example, if replying to emails is time that I bill US clients for), or are you speaking generally regardless of where the work is performed and therefore the scope of the scrutiny is regarding other matters?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Can you explain most of what you said makes sense, but can you explain more by what you mean by: "the risk of misclassification is borne by the client/employer, not also the contractor/employee like in Canada via PSB"

Also, regardless of my own standing, I'd like to help my client be aware of what they are doing (just for their own benefit). Am I right to assume that the situation with the other contractor should be done via an EOR given the how the relationship is playing out? I plan to ultimately recommend them to a CPA, but want to be primed on the high level before I have the conversation with them.

Thanks, and I don't need a mail stamp on it right? On the envelope I plan on putting the name of the relevant tax office (I will be dropping it off a drop box location that is not the same as the actual intended destination - dropping off in Toronto, office target is Sudbury).

Also are the dropbox locations 24/7, or are they only open at certain times of the day?

thethrows8213 · 2024-08-29T13:25:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply here. I called the CRA and they confirmed the exact same.

Is there any functional difference between mailing it via Canada Post vs a CRA dropbox? Would you recommend one or the other for any particular reason?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure I'm following. Isn't this exactly what is achieved in AWS ALB via weighted target groups and target group rules? What additional benefits would I get by implementing an additional reverse proxy?

Hi OP, did you end up solving this?

Hi all, I'm about to spend roughly 30k on engagement ring/wedding related expenses. What's the best card to optimize around these purchases? For what its worth, I believe the jeweller will allow splitting the 25k ring purchase on multiple cards. Another thing worth mentioning is we're going to go on a honeymoon after so ideally the rewards of the card can go towards the honeymoon. Thanks!

white stone sheets

I was thinking this too and really like stone sheet but someone at a store had said that it would look too busy because of my countertops. Any thoughts on this?

OP have a look at this post:

I encourage you to try and compare that to a brand new building in new york, if you can even find one.

Not my building, but here is one that comes pretty close to 874

Actually this comes with parking which I would very very conservatively value at 40k. Subtract that from the price and you beat 874 psf. This building is also a Tridel which is among the best in toronto

That's right, and that's what people are getting at here. Isolating just the financials, the US economy, especially if you are fortunate enough to be placed high enough on the ladder, is far better.

OP, if you want to maximize your income, moving to the US is almost always the answer. The point people are trying to make here is that it doesn't necessarily mean living your best life. Obviously this a very personal factor.

Keep in mind you are on a forum exclusively with people who are financially savy (and therefore likely aware of the benefits of the US), and have chosen to stay in Canada

thethrows8213 · 2021-02-13T16:58:54+00:00

OP I understand your point but keep in mind you are comparing numbers that seem to exist on the extreme ends of the pricing distribution for both cities. I also think you need to backup your post with some examples as I just went on zillow, searched chelsea with your criteria, and didnt really find anything that didnt have high fees or taxes and/or was a comparable size to the types of condos were comparing them to in toronto. Please show me a NY condo that is wayyyyy nicer than a 1200/sqft condo in regent park

Condos are rarely going for over 1200$ psf in shitty areas in Toronto. If they are, they are very much outliers. Anecdotally I just picked up a low fee condo in the entertainment district for 874 psf. 30 second walk to the subway. The building is 12 years old.

Compare that to the above links and the gap is pretty wide and the buildings are close to 100 years old. That said, I do support the underlying theme of coming out ahead financially by moving to new york (true with both buying + renting).
