I work in the Middle East on a rotation month in month out.What tax do i pay as i don't earn in Canada?



I live in canada, are there any tax laws for this situation. My pay is made up of basic +foriegh service+hardship allowance.
Advice would be appreciated

get a good accountant that specializes in international affairs; international tax treaties can be complicated -- talk to a professional
You didn't provide which Middle East country so this is hard to answer 100% accurately without getting more information from you.

Canada taxes on worldwide income. Since you're working on month in month out and you live in Canada, your income is taxable in Canada.

Does your employer in Middle East withhold any tax from your income? Did you pay tax/file tax return in the Middle East country where you work? If yes, I suggest you to call CRA and find out if there is any tax treaty between the Canada and Middle East country.

I also suggest you find out more information on tax system in the Middle East country, such as do you need to pay tax on the income you earned?

Good luck.
If you reside in Canada,you must file and claim any income you have earned from any source outside of Canada.If in doubt,there is a phone number for the Income Tax Canada.They can answer your questions.
I have to do the same.
