Tax Planning for Digital Nomads in Vancouver

March 3, 2025 by Judi Wang

Tax Planning for Digital Nomads in Vancouver

As remote work becomes more common, digital nomads and freelancers must navigate complex tax regulations. If you live in Vancouver but work remotely, understanding your tax obligations is essential to avoid unexpected liabilities.

Do Digital Nomads Have to Pay Taxes in Canada?

Canada determines tax residency based on residential ties. If you live in Vancouver for 183 days or more per year, you are considered a tax resident and must file taxes accordingly.

  • Maintain records of travel dates and locations.
  • Report worldwide income if considered a Canadian tax resident.
  • Use available tax deductions to minimize tax liability.

Tax Deductions for Remote Workers

Freelancers and remote workers can take advantage of various tax deductions, including:

  • Home office expenses (rent, utilities, internet).
  • Work-related travel expenses.
  • Professional development and software subscriptions.

Our Tax Planning Services help ensure you maximize deductions and remain compliant.
