2023 Tax Reporting Guide for BMO Nesbitt Burns

If you owe income tax to the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) or Revenu Québec, your tax return and any balance owing must be submitted by the April 30, 2024 deadline, to avoid late-filing penalties and interest charges.

For self-employed individuals, the income tax filing deadline is June 17, 2024; however, any balance owing must be paid by April 30, 2024 to avoid late-filing penalties and interest charges.

The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP）”) contribution deadline for the 2023 tax year is February 29, 2024.

註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP） annuitants can contribute to their own 註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP） until December 31 of the year in which they turn 71 years of age.

視您的投資持有項目及賬戶活動而定，您可能會收到供您準備年度報稅之用的各種稅單。 For a brief overview of the various tax slips and supporting documents you may receive from BMO, along with their expected availability dates, refer to our publication, 2023 Tax Documents Overview and Schedule.

Please make sure that you receive all required tax slips before filing your tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency, and Revenu Québec for Quebec residents, to prevent having to file an amendment.

請注意： Depending on your document delivery preference, your tax documents will be posted on BMO Nesbitt Burns Gateway® and/or placed in the mail as soon as they are available. If you're not already registered to access your tax slips exclusively online, please speak with your BMO Nesbitt Burns Investment Advisor, or register directly via the Gateway sign-in page.

2023年稅單摘要

Approximate mailing date: Early February

This summary details the tax slip(s) that you will receive for the accounts you hold at BMO to help ensure that you do not file your tax return before receiving all your BMO tax slips. The summary lists all your T3/RL16, T5/RL3 split shares and T5013/RL15 eligible securities holding(s) for which you will be receiving tax slips between late February and late March.

Additionally, the Summary includes an overview of tax receipts and the expected delivery dates of the T5/RL3/NR4 (regular equity and split share or debt instruments), T3/RL16/NR4, and tax slips from fund companies and High-Interest Savings Accounts (“HISA”).

國外證券報告
預定郵寄日期：二月初

加拿大居民有義務繳交來自全世界所有來源收入的所得稅。 You must file a CRA T1135 Form (Foreign Income Verification Statement), if at any time during the tax year, the total cost amount of all your specified foreign property was more than CAD$100,000.

The Foreign Income Information Statement provides a listing and value of all your foreign security holdings at BMO Nesbitt Burns. This is not an official tax document and is provided to assist you in determining if you have a CRA Form T1135 filing requirement.

已實現盈虧報告
Approximate mailing date: Mid March

This report provides the realized gains and/or losses of your securities held across all your BMO Nesbitt Burns non-registered accounts. 這份報告將於三月中寄出；它並非正式的稅務申報文件。

Please note: There may be differences between the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) on the Realized Gain/Loss Report and your T5008/RL18 tax slip(s).會出現這個差異是因為T5008/RL18並未考慮賬戶持有人在該年度中出售證券的任何資本回報。 However, the Realized Gain/Loss Report reflects the ACB for the security, based on the return of capital reported on your T3/RL16 and T5013/RL15 tax slips.

註冊遺產稅單

根據註冊賬戶，會開立稅單以反映死亡日期前後的付款情況。 Form RC249 Post-Death Decline in Values is also issued when applicable and filed with regulatory agencies.

如果您的遺產賬戶中有任何收入，您可能會收到NR4、 T3/RL-16、T4A/RL-1、T4RSP/RL-2，或T4RIF/RL-2稅單。有幾種選擇性報稅您可以選擇申報，以減少死者的應納稅額。如需如何正確報告與申報遺產稅的更多資訊，請諮詢您的稅務顧問。

外匯兌換（稅單及盈虧報告）

在申報所得稅時，所有金額都必須轉換成加幣。請注意，稅單上所列出的金額可能會與損益報告上的金額不同。這是因為有些稅單是採用投資項目當地的貨幣開立，而損益報告則是以加幣開立。

Tax information is provided based on your preference (i.e., either mailed or provided online through your BMO Nesbitt Burns Gateway® account). Contact your BMO Nesbitt Burns Investment Advisor to obtain a duplicate copy of your tax slip(s) and any associated income reports and statements.

In the event you discover any issues with the financial and/or non-financial information reported on your tax slips, notify your BMO Nesbitt Burns Investment Advisor immediately. 您的投資顧問會進行調查以確保您收到修正後的稅單，如需修正的話。我們也會將正確的資料更新到我們的系統中，同時向相關的稅收機構申報任何適用的修正資料。

如果您所在國家或地區的居民身分改變，或您在魁北克的居民身分出現居民或非居民身分改變（如果您在加拿大境內搬家），也請立即通知您的投資顧問。當我們的系統已更改了居民資料時，所有在居民資料變更當日或之後收到的派息都會顯示在相關的稅單中（例如加拿大T稅單、魁北克稅務局稅單或NR4稅單），並且還包括正確的預扣稅金（如適用）。

Tax slips are issued to the primary accountholder and include the primary account holder’s Social Insurance Number (“社會保險號碼（SIN）”) and Legal name. Where applicable, the joint account holder’s 社會保險號碼（SIN） and Legal name are also included.

每位聯名賬戶持有人都有責任根據其對於投資的原始供款，申報總收入中其個人的部分。

從法律及稅務觀點而言，非正式信託或信託賬戶是一項複雜的信託。這些賬戶用來為未成年的子女撥出一筆資金，通常是為了日後的教育費用而設。然而，信託賬戶缺少正式的信託文件。

以稅務而言，信託被視為（個別）納稅人，因此涉及多項受託人（即持有並且管理該項信託的人）必須要遵守的報稅規定。 The tax slip(s) are to be issued in the 'name and 社會保險號碼（SIN）’ of the Trustee, and not the beneficiary(s).

海外分拆是由海外企業以不同企業的股份形式分派的股息。在申報加拿大所得稅時，海外分拆是以海外應稅股息的方式進行申報。所得稅法規第86.1節允許某些遞延稅負選擇，可遞延您的應納稅額直到原始股份及分拆股份均處置完成為止。海外分拆交易將會開立T5/RL-3稅單以供申報。

For more information on eligible foreign spin-offs from BMO, refer to our publication, 海外分拆稅負遞延

You may also refer to Eligible spin-offs published by the CRA, for a list of spin-offs that have been approved by the CRA。

請諮詢您的會計師或其他稅務顧問，確認您在T5008/RL18中方格20所申報的投資項目的稅務成本基礎。此外，請保留賬戶結單/交易記錄以對於成本基礎進行任何必要調整，以便確認您的投資項目的正確盈虧數字。

The tax cost base may be different from the original purchase price and information available to BMO at the time of preparing this form due to various reasons, including: corporate re-organizations, tax elections, and distributions (such as return of capital); the requirement to calculate, for tax purposes, a weighted-average cost of a security that is held across more than one non-registered account, including accounts held with other financial institutions; or due to other factors such as foreign exchange, immigration, superficial losses, etc.

If the sale of a security creates a capital loss for the client, the CRA may consider the transaction a 'superficial' loss and disallow any capital loss deduction if the same security was purchased during the period starting 30 calendar days before the sale and ending 30 calendar days after the sale. 如果這筆以虧損處置的證券是在註冊賬戶內持有，則這筆證券將不會實現表面虧損。

For additional information please refer to the CRA’s publication, What is a superficial loss?

Tax slips are not issued for Tax-Free Savings Accounts (“TFSA”). Income earned in, or withdrawn from, a TFSA is not taxable unless you exceed your contribution limit. 超出供款限額的任何超額供款如保留在賬戶中，將必須支付每月1%的罰款。

Calculating TFSA Contribution Room

Any unused TFSA contribution room automatically rolls-over from the previous year(s) into the following year. Clients can contribute up to the TFSA dollar limit for the current year, plus:

• 任何過去未使用的供款額度；以及
• 不超過他們在去年提領的任何金額。

Only contributions made to a TFSA account with a valid Canadian 社會保險號碼（SIN） on file are accepted as TFSA contributions.

Non-residents may continue to maintain a TFSA but cannot make any new contributions. You should confirm your annual TFSA contribution limits with the CRA by using their “My Account” application, or by calling the Tax Information Phone Service (“TIPS”) at 1-800-267-6999.

The First Home Savings Account ("FHSA") is a new registered plan that enables prospective first-time home buyers with the ability to contribute up to $40,000 over the life of the plan -capped at contribution limit of $8,000 per year -toward saving their first home, tax-free. Contributions made to an FHSA are tax-deductible and the income earned in the account is tax-free. 此外，為購買第一套房子的合資格提款可免稅。

Features of the FHSA:

• 終身供款上限為$40,000，年度供款上限為$8,000。未使用的年度供款上限部分可遞轉至未來的年度使用。超額供款每月會被處以1%的罰款。
• Contributors may choose which year to deduct their FHSA contribution(s) (e.g., it does not have to be the year in which the contribution was made).
• An individual may transfer funds from an FHSA to another FHSA on tax-free basis.
• Funds from an 註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP） to an FHSA can be transferred on a tax-free basis, subject to the FHSA annual and lifetime contribution limits and the qualified investment rules.
• On the breakdown of a marriage or a common-law partnership, an amount may be transferred directly from the FHSA of one party in the relationship to an FHSA, 註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP）或 RRIF賬戶 of the other. In such circumstances, transfers will not re-instate any contribution room of the transferor and will not be counted against any contribution room of the transferee.
• 配偶或同居伴侶可被指定為賬戶持有人繼承人，在這種情況下，賬戶可維持其免稅身分。
• For non-residents of Canada, taxpayers can continue to participate in an FHSA, but they cannot make contributions or qualifying withdrawals.非稅務居民的提款必須預扣稅金。

The annual contribution period for the First Home Savings Account ("FHSA") is January 1 to December 31. For the 2023 tax year, contributions made to the FHSA between April 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, can be deducted on your 2023 income tax and benefit return.

Further information on the FHSA and contribution room can by confirmed with the CRA by using their “My Account” application, or by calling Tax Information Phone Service (“TIPS”) at 1-800-267-6999.

• 正式的信託/遺產的信託號碼。

收件人識別號碼是強制性稅籍號碼，必須包括在資料申報表中。金融機構必須做出合理的努力以取得收件人的稅籍號碼並且在資料申報表中提供。

CRA Business Number

註冊摘要報告

• Summarizes contributions, withdrawals, applicable withholding tax, and account activities during the tax year for Registered Accounts (i.e., 註冊退休儲蓄計劃（RRSP）s, RIFs, LIFs, LRIFs and TFSAs).

非註冊摘要報告

• 對於稅務年度期間的股息、資本利得、資本回報、利息、其他收入、費用、預扣稅金及已實現損益的摘要。

實體賬戶的日曆年年終報告及特殊年終報告

• 對於實體賬戶於前一個會計年度期間的應稅交易、現金流進出、出售/處置證券而來的任何費用和收費及已實現損益的摘要。

對於在2023年12月30日之後結束的稅務年度（2023年稅務年度及之後的稅務年度），有適用於多數明示信託/個人信託的加拿大居民的新申報規定。即使這些信託沒有所得稅應納稅額，且在此年度中信託沒有分紅/資產分配，但是這些信託仍需要進行年度報稅。

如果這一年中沒有應付所得稅、沒有分紅且沒有處置資本財產，則以下信託將繼續免於提交T3申報表與申報額外的受益所有權資訊表：

• 信託時間不及三個月的信託；以及
• 在此稅務年間持有$50,000以下的信託資產（前提是所持有的信託限存款、政府債券及上市公司證券）。

「公開交易合夥事業」是指其權益在知名的證券市場中公開交易，或已經在二級市場中交易的合夥事業。

On January 1, 2023, the 美國 Internal Revenue Service's new rules impacting clients who hold Publicly Traded Partnerships went into affect, including the following:

• The new 1446(f) Internal Revenue Service regulation, which includes a 10% 美國 withholding tax that can apply to any Publicly Traded Partnership, including non-美國 Publicly Traded Partnerships.
• The sale of a foreign (non-美國) Publicly Traded Partnership will not be subject to the 1446f withholding tax if the Publicly Traded Partnership provides a Qualified Notice (e.g., a '92 Day Notice’).
  • 請注意： if an entity is organized outside of the United States and trades solely on a foreign established securities market or foreign secondary market (foreign-traded entity) it is presumed not to be a Publicly Traded Partnership for 美國 tax purposes –unless the broker has actual knowledge otherwise.

此一規定造成以下的改變，因此可能會影響到納稅人：

• Selling an interest in a Publicly Traded Partnership after December 31, 2022, may result in a 10% 美國 withholding tax being deducted from the proceeds by BMO, who must submit the tax to the IRS;
• BMO must request a 美國 Tax Identification Number from any client holding a Publicly Traded Partnership on, or after, January 1, 2024, if the Publicly Traded Partnership distributed 美國 Effectively Connected Income or 美國 Effectively Connected Net Income during 2023;
• 對於 美國 tax purposes, a foreign partner's gain or loss from the sale of a Publicly Traded Partnership that is engaged in a 美國 trade or business is treated as income that is effectively connected with a 美國 trade or business. This means that the foreign partner is required to file a 美國 income tax return and report the income for 美國 tax purposes. Consequently, to fulfil this requirement, the foreign partner must have/obtain a 美國 Tax Identification Number from the IRS; and
• Where a client has received a Form 1042-S from BMO that reports the amount of 美國 tax withheld, the client can report the tax withheld on their 美國 tax return and receive a refund of the tax to the extent that the tax withheld exceeds the actual 美國 tax owing on the 美國 tax return.
