If I am sending Canadian employees to work in the United States, do I need to withhold social security taxes from their pay in both Canada and the USA?

If you own a Canadian corporation that is sending Canadians to work on its behalf in the USA, the USA-Canada tax treaty gives you the option of not withholding social security taxes from your employees’ pay-cheques. To be eligible for this provision, you must apply for a certificate of coverage.
