In this episode, Dr. Wing Lim welcomes Masterclass faculty member Simon Wong back to the show to discuss global and local taxes for Canadians. Simon explains how taxes vary for Canadian citizens according to physical or tax residency, the international tax rules that affect tax brackets and investments. It’s a situation many medical professionals find themselves in for training, work, or financial ventures, and understanding how these taxes work is key to making wise decisions.
The first thing Simon tackles is the three labels of citizenship, tax residency and physical residency. Each carries a different set of rights, obligations and planning consequences despite sounding similar. He and Wing then delve into deeper questions. How are offshore strategies affected by taxation? How can someone avoid becoming a dual country tax resident? What cross-border taxation applies to real estate in the US? Simon and Wing broach all these questions and more, exploring the best tax and accounts options for Canadian physicians at home and abroad.
