question: Dear David,
First of all, I would like to say that your website is very insightful and has been very helpful. I am emailing you with one question in mind, will I be taxed for my worldwide income or not? In order to answer my question I do understand that you would need to know many more details so here are the points. I have been living in XXXXXXXXXXX since November 2008. In 2009, I have filled my Canadian income tax for the whole year and at that point I had a Common Law residing in the country therefore I paid my taxes.
Currently, XXXXXXXXXXX is an income tax free country and as far as my ties to Canada I do have a bank account, credit card, driver's license and a valid passport. My salary is deposited into an offshore account and at one point during the year I did make a large transfer into my Canadian account. My bank account is still shared with my previous other half, although we are not together and this account could be closed immediately should you recommend it.
As far as my future desires, I do not intend to come back to Canada in the short term and planning to stay in Asia Pacific. One final detail, I am employed with a Hotel company, which technically is a Canadian company, however our hotels are privately owned and I do not get paid from Canada - my contract is with the owners of our Resort here in XXXXXXXXXXX .
I look forward to your response.
Warm regards!
