The Income Tax Act places a withholding tax obligation on payors of defined categories of investment income. Withholding agents / financial intermediaries have an obligation to determine which categories of investment income are taxable, to assess how much tax is due, and to remit the tax to the Office of the CfR within a stipulated deadline. Failure to meet such obligations may result in criminal sanctions.

This session will be designed to help the participants understand:

• the scope of provisions of the Income Tax Act and their application
• the issues that they or their clients need to be aware of in practice
• the processes that should be put in place by withholding agents to meet the relevant obligations under the investment income provisions.

This session will be significantly relevant to securities dealers, stock brokers, financial intermediaries, officers of listed entities, investment managers, tax advisors and practitioners.
