What's new - Changes to Form T1135

Corporations can Efile Form T1135 electronically for the 2014 and subsequent taxation years as of May 16, 2016.

The CRA has implemented changes to Form T1135 for the 2015 and subsequent tax years. The changes will allow taxpayers who held specified foreign property with a total cost amount of less than $250,000, throughout the year, to report under a new simplified reporting method rather than providing the detail of each such property.

The current detailed reporting method will continue to apply to those taxpayers who, at any time during a year, held specified foreign property with a total cost of $250,000 or more.

Individuals can file Form T1135 electronically (Efile or Netfile) for the 2014 and subsequent taxation years. CRA will make electronic filing of Form T1135 available for partnerships in the future and will announce when the service becomes available.
