((does Canada charge foreigners any tax on their bond interest?))

Sorry Darffot. Dunno. All my income holdings (i.e. Canadian T-bills) are in RRSP's (Canada's IRA equivalent) and interest is thus tax sheltered. So at this stage, I've had no reason to explore tax on bond interest - even as a Canadian holder of Canadian income instruments, let alone a foreign bond holder.

Perhaps someone else can answer your question.

Best Regards,
Glenn

Call here, they will tell you.

Canadians must pay tax on bond interest. (basically - any interest)

If I (I am a CDN) buy foreign stocks (EG: US stocks), I report the gain to Revenue Canada and pay the tax in Canada. I do not report it and pay in the US for those US stock trades. I expect this is a tax treaty arrangement with the US and that is why I suspect you would only report the gain on bonds to the US govt. and deal with the tax there.

However, I would make the phone call.

Cheers
