Withdrawals by a non-resident of Canada from his or her RRSP are subject to withholding tax. The amount of the withholding tax is dependent on whether a tax treaty exists between the taxpayer’s country of residence and Canada. If the taxpayer emigrates to a country which has a tax treaty with Canada that does not define “pensions”, then the Income Tax Conventions Interpretations Act, defines pensions to include RRSPs. The tax treaty may apply a different tax rate to periodic pension payments versus lump sum payments. Payments made before maturity of the RRSP (i.e. the age at which the taxpayer can withdraw funds from the RRSP) or full or partial commutation payments are not considered periodic pension payments unless the treaty states otherwise. RRSP withdrawals may be taxed by the taxpayer’s new country of residence.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan A taxpayer can continue to contribute to his or her RRSP after emigrating from Canada. Contribution room is based on Canadian-source income, such that taxpayers who cease earning Canadian source income (e.g. employment income) after emigration will stop accruing RRSP contribution room. The emigrant can take advantage of any contribution room carried over from previous years.

Tax-Free Savings Accounts Taxpayers can continue to contribute to their Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) once they emigrate from Canada. However, there are two important caveats when considering continuing to contribute to a TFSA as a non-resident of Canada. Contribution Room: The annual contribution room a taxpayer receives for his or her TFSA is not prorated in the year of emigration. The taxpayer will accrue the full contribution room for the tax year in which he or she emigrated. The year in which the taxpayer emigrates will be the final year he or she receives contribution room to his or her TFSA unless he or she becomes a Canadian tax resident again. As non-residents do not receive TFSA contribution room, they must ensure they do not over-contribute to their TFSA as a penalty will apply. Penalty for contributing as a non-resident: Non-residents who contribute to their TFSA after emigrating will be charged a 1% a month penalty on these contributions until the contributions are removed from the TFSA or the taxpayer becomes a resident of Canada again. Charging of these penalties can be successfully challenged in certain circumstances. Taxpayers should speak to one of our experienced Canadian tax lawyers if they wish to challenge these penalties. Generally speaking, continuing to contribute to a TFSA after becoming a non-resident of Canada is inadvisable. Taxpayers do not pay departure tax on their TFSA accounts. Since withdrawals from a TFSA are not taxable, non-resident taxpayers will not pay Canadian tax on any amounts withdrawn from their TFSA after becoming a non-resident of Canada. The Section 217 election also does not apply to TFSA withdrawals. However, the amounts withdrawn may be taxed by the taxpayer’s new country of residence.

Canadian Departure Tax When a Canadian taxpayer emigrates Canada while still maintaining ownership of certain kinds of property, the taxpayer will pay what is called a “departure tax”. The taxpayer is deemed to have sold the property, although it has been capped, and pays tax on the capital gain from the deemed sale. For example, Frank owns shares in a private business not through an investment vehicle such as a TFSA or RRSP. When Frank emigrates from Canada in 2020, he does not sell the shares. However, he is deemed to have sold the shares and pays Canadian tax based on the appreciation of the value of the shares since his original purchase of the shares.
