Dear Sirs:
This is in reply to your letter of October 11, 1990, wherein you requested a technical interpretation in respect of an election under section 217 of the Income Tax Act (the "Act") in a situation where a non-resident has made withdrawals from his registered retirement savings plan.
You specifically enquire as to whether income paid by a Canadian employer to a non resident for services rendered outside Canada would be included in the computation of taxable income earned in Canada for purposes of section 217 of the Act.
It is our position that, under subparagraphs 116(1)(a)(i) and 115(2)(e)(l) of the Act, remuneration paid by a Canadian employer to a non-resident ??? provided that such remuneration is subject to income tax imposed by a country other than Canada, or is paid in connection with the selling of property, negotiating of contracts or rendering of services for his employer in the ordinary course of a business carried on by his employer. However, it should be noted that the applicable Income Tax Convention ??? provide for different results.
We trust the above comments will be of assistance to you.
