Income Taxes Question...

Short answer is yes, you still have rights as a Canadian, Canada pension, old age security etc and you must still file an income tax report annually so I am told. Perhaps Rocky can help with this subject so I have sent him a pm.

If you are a permanent resident of the DR and do not have a residence in Canada, you do not have to pay income tax or declare money made in the DR to the Canadian Government. If you are retired, working in the DR but returning to Canada within the year, you have to fill out a income tax form for Canada. If in doubt phone the income tax department. I know that if you are retired with a government pension, the Canadian government will with-hold 25% of your pension for income tax. The DR government will not tax your pension. Canada does have a tax agreement with the DR government.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one sees it happen, does it make a sound?

Thanks, I did call the income tax department and they told me I did not have to fill out the form if I was not sure how long I was going to stay in DR.

I just want to make sure I wont get in trouble if I work in DR during my stay.
