How NR6.ca Works

Four simple steps to reduce your Canadian rental income withholding tax. Complete the process online in under 7 minutes.

Step 1

Enter Your Details

Complete our simple online form with your property address, rental income, and expense information. The form takes about 5-7 minutes to complete.

  • Property address and ownership details
  • Monthly rental income and rental period
  • Deductible expenses (mortgage interest, property tax, repairs, etc.)
  • Your contact information
Step 2

We Prepare Your NR6

Our team reviews your submission and prepares your NR6 form according to CRA requirements. We calculate your estimated withholding and ensure everything is accurate.

  • Professional review of all information
  • NR6 form preparation
  • Withholding tax calculation
  • Quality check before submission
Step 3

We File With CRA

We submit your completed NR6 form directly to the Canada Revenue Agency and act as your Canadian agent—a requirement for non-resident landlords.

  • Direct submission to CRA
  • We serve as your Canadian agent
  • Handle any CRA correspondence
  • Status updates throughout the process
Step 4

Pay Tax on Net Income

Once CRA approves your NR6, your property manager only withholds tax on your net rental income (after expenses), not the full 25% on gross rent.

  • Approval letter from CRA
  • Reduced withholding rate
  • Significant tax savings
  • Annual reminders for renewal
