Participants will also gain advanced insight into cross-border and international tax obligations, covering transfer pricing rules, tax treaty applications, foreign affiliate and FAPI (Foreign Accrual Property Income) considerations, and mandatory disclosures such as T106 and T1134 filings, as well as the consequences of non-compliance. This program will also provide you with a detailed examination of CRA audit practices, risk-based reviews, dispute resolution processes, and documentation standards required to withstand regulatory scrutiny.
In addition, you will explore the strategic use associated with tax credits and incentive regimes as well as examine emerging developments shaping Canada’s international tax landscape, such as digital taxation measures, OECD BEPS initiatives, Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, country-by-country reporting, treaty-shopping risks, and the increasing emphasis on transparency, disclosure, and ESG-linked tax reporting.
