caregiver amount
网上以及一些税务专家均指出caregiver amount的条件是dependant必须是加拿大移民或公民才可. 对此偶有些疑惑.从GUIDE 里的解释来看, 似乎没有指明一定是要要求加拿大移民或公民才可. GUIDE里讲Resident IN Canada. 似乎可以理解成 ‘居住在加拿大, 并未指明一定是加拿大移民或公民’. 可以比较一下331(Allowable amount of medical expenses for other dependants)..... 要求是a resident OF Canada(这里似乎是指明一定要是加拿大居民才可). 欢迎大家探讨. 谢绝某些习惯性的冷嘲热讽和恶言恶语. Caregiver amount If, at any time in this tax year, you (either alone or with another person) maintained a dwelling where you and a dependant with no or low income live, you may be able to claim caregiver amount on line 315 of Schedule 1 and line 5840 of provincial form 428. The dependant must have been 18 or over at the time he or she lived with you and must be: · Your or your spouse or common-law partner’s child, grandchild, brother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt, or uncle and dependent on you due to mental or physical infirmity · Your or your spouse or common-law partner’s parent or grandparent and 65 year or older in this tax year · Resident IN Canada (居住在加拿大, 并未指明一定是加拿大移民或公民???) Claim on line 331 the portion of eligible medical expenses you or your spouse or common-law partner paid for the following persons who depended on you for support: · your or your spouse or common-law partner’s child 18 years or older, or grandchild; or · your or your spouse or common-law partner’s parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew who was a resident OF Canada (这里似乎是指明一定要是加拿大居民才可???) at any time in the year. |

Deemed Residents of Canada -- Subsection 250(1) of the Act ¶ 20. An individual who has not established sufficient residential ties with Canada to be considered factually resident in Canada, but who sojourns (that is, is temporarily present) in Canada for a total of 183 days or more in any calendar year, is deemed to be resident in Canada for the entire year http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/it...tml#P130_22358 根据上面这一解释,税法规定居住在加拿大超过183天可以算作加拿大居民,即使没有长期居留身份! 但是据说中国和加拿大有税务条约(Tax Treaty)。根据这个条约,双方都不把对方的访问者作为税务居民。仅仅是根据这个Tax Treaty,持访问签证的中国公民不可以申报Caregiver Amount,无论在加拿大居留多久。 据我所知,很多来访亲属都成功申报了Caregiver Amount。这个Caregiver Amount是报税中比较不常见的个案。很多时候可以拿我上面引述的税法的定义蒙混过关。但是真正较真的话是不可以的。所以可以先装糊涂,报上再说。如果税务局说disallowed你就蔫不登地认了,表去理论了。 |
