Dividends Taxes Canada

Question: RE: NR7-R Recovery of withholding for a foreign investor?

I am having trouble getting my 15% withholding back from a brokerage firm in a tax free Roth IRA account in the states which I hold multiple dividend paying stocks in Canada. (These stocks are not trusts either) Do I file the form with the nominee(brokerage) or the government to get my money back? I don’t get a straight answer from either party when I pose the question to them.

Answer: The form you note actually says on the instruction page where to send it:

International Tax Services Office, Non Resident Withholding Division, 2204 Walkely Road , Ottawa, ON K1A 1A8

For questions: 1-800-267-3395
