Where to file a T3 return
Where you file the return depends on where the trustee address is based in. Generally, we consider a trust to reside where the trustee, executor, administrator, liquidator, or other legal representative who manages the trust or controls the trust’s assets lives. It is the jurisdiction in which the central management and control is factually exercised that will be considered in determining the residence of the trust.
A trust is a resident of Canada or a non-resident of Canada. The residence of the trust will determine the appropriate tax rates. For more information, go to Residency and contact us information and Income Tax Folio S6-F1-C1, Residence of a Trust or Estate.
