# Business Traveler Planning Matrix

The income and social tax requirements for business travelers can vary drastically from country to country. We have developed an easy-to-follow planning matrix, which provides an example of the considerations in these areas for US employees traveling temporarily on business to Canada, including:

- When an individual is considered a tax resident of Canada for income purposes
- The minimum number of days of presence in  
  Canada that could trigger reporting and withholding  
  obligations for an employer
- The threshold for exemption of employment  
  income under the treaty for a US business traveler to  
  Canada
- How the 183-day or other rule for employment  
  services is applied
- Details about the income tax treaty with the US
