Overview
Yukon residency requirements
Determining Yukon residency status
Yukon follows the federal tax residency rules set by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You're generally considered a Yukon resident for tax purposes if you maintain significant residential ties to the territory. These ties include owning or leasing a home in Yukon, having a spouse or common-law partner living in Yukon, or keeping personal property in the territory. Secondary ties, such as a Yukon driver's license, bank accounts, or social ties, are also considered. It's important to note that physical presence alone doesn't always determine residency; the strength of your ties to Yukon is the key factor.
183-day rule and part-year residency
While Yukon doesn't have a specific day count rule for determining residency, the CRA's 183-day guideline is often applied. If you're physically present in Canada (including Yukon) for 183 days or more in a tax year, you may be deemed a resident for tax purposes. However, this rule isn't absolute and other factors are considered. Part-year residency occurs when you move to or from Yukon during the tax year. In these cases, you'll need to file a Yukon tax return for the portion of the year you were a resident, reporting worldwide income for that period.
Non-resident taxation in Yukon
If you're a non-resident of Canada but earn income from sources in Yukon, you may still have tax obligations in the territory. This could include income from employment in Yukon, business carried on in the territory, or disposition of taxable Yukon property. Non-residents are typically taxed only on Yukon-source income, not worldwide income. It's crucial to understand your residency status and any tax treaties between Canada and your country of residence to determine your exact tax obligations in Yukon.
Northern residents deductions
Yukon residents may be eligible for the northern residents deductions, which can significantly reduce your tax liability. To qualify, you must have lived in a prescribed northern zone (which includes all of Yukon) for a continuous period of at least six consecutive months. These deductions include a residency deduction for living in a northern zone and a travel deduction for trips taken out of the northern zone. Accurate day tracking is essential to claim these deductions, as you'll need to calculate the exact number of days you resided in Yukon during the tax year.
