Working for a remote US company as an employee. Canadian Citizen. Spending 6 months in each country, can it be done?
I am being employed by a US company who is a remote company. They will have be as an employee, with a TN visa, a SSN, a US bank account. All this is fine.
However, I am wondering if I am violating anything by spending about half my time in Canada and half in the US? I know I will have to pay double taxes (actually based on tax treaty just the higher of the two), but am I breaking any rules here? I see Canada has a definition of temporary foreign workers being allows to be in Canada on "vacation" and do remote work. My work is internet based work so is ok under this treaty. Is this what I am?
Further, what does it technically mean to "live in the us" vs "live in canada". From a tax resident point of view I will always be a tax resident of canada as I have residential ties here. My US company will obviously be taking out US taxes. So am I doing anything wrong?
