In India, I will have a 20 percent capital gains tax on a home in India. Just wondering how much the foreign tax credit will be here in Canada.
Ask Allan a Tax Question and he will respond to you with an answer to your question within 24 hours!
The foreign tax credit will be the lesser of (a) the taxes paid in India on the capital gain and (b) the taxes payable in Canada on the capital gain. The highest capital gains tax rate in Canada is 27% (approximately), so you should receive a foreign tax credit of 20%, leaving a balance owing of 7% to the CRA.
