UK tax property income, Canada resident
Hello guys
I'm in the process of doing my taxes here in Canada, so as there in the UK.
I just finished my 1st year as a british resident in Canada.
I have a rented property in London, which my accountant initially asked to do a self assessment, and we did.
However, she contacted me today, saying that HMRC asking me to declare my income in Canada.
the good news, there is a treaty between the 2 countries, so I may not be paying double taxation.
my question is , do I need to declare my Canadian income when I'm a resident in Canada and paying my taxes in Canada ??
I though its the other way around.
any advice will help
thank you

Not sure what you mean by 'a british resident in Canada' - are you a Canadian PR or not?
I am definitely no expert on UK rental income, but many others on this forum are in this situation and will no doubt chime in with their experience.

Re: UK tax property income, Canada resident
I have a PR in Canada.
no P85 yet, but NRL1 form is requested by the accountant now, which im about to send.
I just don't gather why I need to declare my income to the country im not residing in anymore !
my UK rental is barely covering the mortgage and expenses of accountant, such a bad investment.

Re: UK tax property income, Canada resident
CRA is not the issue here.
Ive declared the property to CRA, paid all my taxes in Canada as suppose to.
HMRC (brit taxman) is where im getting confused at, they want me to declare my Canadian income despite that I won't be paying taxes there for this income.
So, why then need to know how much im earning in Canada, and im basically not a resident there anymore ?!
thanks for advice guys

Perhaps the problem is that you have not correctly told HMRC that you are no longer resident. That is what completing and sending the P85 in to them does.
