QUESTION:
Hi. I am a Canadian citizen with Permanent-resident status in the US,
married to a natural US citizen. I will qualify for US citizenship
Sept/2005. I have a Limited Liability Corporation registered in the state of
Ohio. I would like to know what my tax liability would be if I were to
engage in a long-term assignment in Canada (approx 14 months) while still a
Canadian citizen/US Permanent Resident working through a US-based
corporation. To which country am I primarily responsible for taxes? Would
this situation jeopardize my US Permanent Resident status if my intent is to
maintain my current US residency?
Regards,
A

Your primary tax liability would be to Canada and because you would be here
for 14 months, your US Corporation would also be taxable to Canada first
because the mind and control would be in Canada.

I am too busy to answer anything from now to about May 4th and with 20 to 30
a day coming, it is impossible to save and get back to them.
