小曹你好，
我小孩去年生在国内，正在团聚移民中，现在还没有加拿大居民和公民的身份，这种情况下能不能作为我的dependent child为我减税呢？
并且我爱人去年一整年都在中国，我想她的健康卡有可能已经作废了，那还要不要交100刀的health contribution呢？
谢谢！

配偶和子女不是加拿大居民，报税不可以作为作为免税因素，所以你的状况和单身是一样的。你需要在婚姻状况一栏写Married，但是在配偶信息要注明她一整年在中国，不属于加拿大税务居民。

非常感谢。

Hold on this.  I think the key issue is what is your wife's residence status for tax purposes in year 2011.

To determine what was her residence status in year 2011, you need to look at the following:

Residential ties – These ties include where your home (owned or leased) and personal property are and where your spouse or common-law partner or dependants reside.
Other ties that may be relevant include social ties, driver’s licence, bank accounts or credit cards, and provincial or territorial hospitalization insurance.

If she had maintained most of the ties within Canada, she was probably a factual resident of Canada.

If you have determined that she was a resident of Canada for tax purposes, you may be able to claim both the spouse and chid credits on your return.

You are absolutly right about this. But personaly I believe it can go both ways, because "residence" is no defined in the Act, and its meaning is rather wague.
One thing to consider is that if she is deemed to be a residence of Canada she's required to report her worldwide income. So if she has a business in China for example, she may need to pay tax for the business income she earned. In that case the amount of tax she will be paying may offset the credits. Since we don't have all the information, it's pretty hard to tell which option is better.
It always depends on the situation I guess.
Just my thought...

先把这个表格填写一下，寄到联邦税务局，拿到SIN卡号，然后再申请和你们一样报税拿消费退税。不过根据我的反馈，只有1/3的人拿到SIN卡，你可以试试看。

小曹， 你好。
我父母2011来探亲（探亲签证，非永久居民），住了1整年。请问我是否可以按deemed resident给他们报税，得到GST/QST的refund？

谢谢。

1， 永久居民身份
2.在加拿大居住超过18个月。

不知道为什么这么多中国人都可以给探亲父母申请CGT/QST退税？

给您纠正一下，只要拿到SIN卡号都可以申请消费退税，我的留学时期从第一年报税起，就拿到了消费退税。很多留学生虽然没有SIN卡号，但只要填了税表，提交了护照带照片的复印件税务局会给个0开头的SIN卡号，也可以拿消费退税。

1.小孩未满18岁，有牛奶金、助学金和贷款，还有学费，是单独报税，还是和我们一起报？
2.如果一起报，贷款算收入吗？谢谢。

请问低收入家庭有已满18岁在读高中生孩子该怎么报税呢？孩子单独报税还是随父母一方报税？
谢谢！
