What are the Canadian withholdings on payments to non-residents?

Any person, whether a resident of Canada or not, who pays a non-resident for services rendered in Canada has to withhold a portion of the gross payments and remit this amount to the Receiver General for Canada.

The withholdings are set at a base rate of 15%.

A further 9% must be withheld to the Quebec Minister of Revenue for services provided in Quebec.
