CRA amends T1135 to require more detailed foreign income reporting, to "crack down" on cheating

An amended T1135 form contains more detailed reporting requirements, including:

  • the name of the specific foreign institution or other entity holding funds outside Canada;
  • the specific country to which the foreign property relates; and
  • the income generated from the foreign property.

The new requirements flow from a CRA strategy "to crack down on those who attempt to cheat the system."
