   Canuck57 to All   
   Living abroad - tax status

   Here is a question for the experts.   
      
   Say you live 10 months a year outside of Canada, but for CPP purposes   
   need to remain on the tax roles in Canada.  Plus you have a RRSP that is   
   going to provide income anyway which means filing taxes in Canada pretty   
   much is a given.  Pretty easy to show primary residence abroad as the   
   Canadian place is a hole in the wall condo usually rented out.   
      
   But raises the question.  If you are not on provincial health care, do   
   not have a drivers license here etc., at arms length... can you avoid   
   the provincial income tax as a non-resident?   
      
   How does this best work?  Heck, why pay a province if you don't live in   
   it and coverage abroad is useless?  Using the saved money for private   
   health care and fun.  And of course we would be legally in the other   
   country as pensioners visas.   
      
   2 cents appreaciated.

   There is a sucker born every minute, liberals and our politicians are   
   counting on it.
