Yup. Look here:
http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?t=1698
Applicable to any Canadian citizens working abroad (like me, still), not just those in Korea. You should find links in it to the actual rules, which are more accurate than the hearsay in this thread. |

Yeah, jumping the gun a little bit. I'll just make some comments here and there on things I believe I can contribute to. I note that my good friend Waterbaby's on the same ex-mod, left-Korea occasional posting plan....
I'm too busy in the new job and new country to spend large amounts of time on this board, which many here will attest, it is capable of taking up if we let it. I mainly just drop in to check my PM inbox.
Thanks for the kind word, though.  |

Why do you want to pay taxes tto Canada??
All they're gonna do is take your tax money and start more wars of aggression, and build nuclear bombs, and kill babies, and print signs in french. |

While this link provided lots of answers in a FAQ format, I found this other document: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/it221r3-consolid/it221r3-consolid-e.html to be much more informative. It is the guideline used internally by CCRA for determination of residence status. It even has a section called, "Evidence of Intention to Permanently Sever Residential Ties" which lays out what the courts will look at when they asses your residency -- effectively, how to make yourself look like a non-resident for tax purposes.
Based on this document, one would be able to compile a checklist of how to demonstrate non-residence status. In my case, for instance, I am going to:
inform all institutions of my change of address;
dispose of all clothes and furniture (or remove them to Korea);
inform anyone making interest payments to me (banks and RRSPs) that such payments may be subject to withholding tax under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act;
not visit Canada on a ��regular basis��; and
establish significant residential ties in Seoul.
These are just the ones that apply to ME personally, in my specific circumstances, so don't go spreading this around as some magic formula that works for everyone. Aright?
