Filing taxes during a working holiday in France (Canadians + others)

In addition to the federal tax, you will also need to produce a provincial (or territorial) declaration.

Provincial and territorial taxes can usually be filed together with federal taxes. Please visit Get a T1 income tax package to access the income tax packages for your province or territory. Specific links can also be found below. As explained in the previous chapter, the tax treaty between Canada and France exempts individuals from being double taxed by both countries.
