Hi. I understand you should file the final tax when you leave Canada. Does that mean you should file it in a normal schedule, i.e. by April 30, 2015 even if you have left in March 2014 ? In that case, you didn't have to inform Revenue Canada of your departure until April next year, did you?

Having said that, you don't have to file if you owe no tax, do you? For example, if you have no income in 2014 until you left in March, there is no need to file, so you simply have to inform Revenue Canada of your departure without filing tax? In such case, what timing and how to inform?

Would you please advise? I will appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

You can find some information on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website in the Individuals - Leaving or entering Canada and non-residents section.

This will help you determine if and when you have to pay taxes.

You may also want to contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) directly to ask questions specific to your situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
