Cross-Border Tax Compliance Made Simple with Dinesh Aarjav & Associates
Navigating Canada’s tax system as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) or globally mobile professional can be complex, especially if you have ties to India or other countries. Canada taxes based on residency, not just citizenship—meaning even temporary residents, work permit holders, and returning Indians may have Canadian tax obligations.
At Dinesh Aarjav & Associates, we specialize in Canada-India cross-border tax filing, helping NRIs and expatriates stay compliant with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), avoid double taxation, and report global assets properly under Canadian and Indian tax laws.
Whether you’re a student, worker, entrepreneur, or investor with Canadian-source income, we provide expert tax filing solutions tailored to your global mobility profile.
