India-Canada-USA Cross-Border Tax Guides

Most tax guidance is written from inside one country. That is not how many families and businesses actually live: an Indian-born engineer on a U.S. visa with parents in Pune and a sibling in Mississauga, a Canadian citizen who moves to Illinois for a job and keeps an RRSP, an owner with companies in two countries. The hardest questions sit between systems: who taxes first, which account is reported where, which treaty applies and what each side calls the same thing.

These guides take the corridors one at a time (U.S.-Canada, U.S.-India, Canada-India) and then the three-country questions. They explain treaties in practical terms, give moving checklists for each direction, compare foreign account reporting and tax credits across the three systems and show how retirement accounts, gifts and estates are treated on each side.

We are a U.S. CPA firm. We handle the U.S. side and coordinate with your Canadian accountant and your Indian Chartered Accountant. Start with the residency tie-breaker guide if you are not sure where you are resident, then use the side-by-side comparisons for quick lookups.
