Investor would be subject to Canadian income tax at the top marginal rate and not the reduced rate of income tax which applies to dividends from a Canadian corporation. the investor would be able to claim a foreign tax credit against the dividend income, however, the foreign tax credit cannot exceed 15% of the dividend (as per FAPI rules).The following example outlines the combined Canadian and US income tax on $100 in income created for the investor in this circumstance.US                         CanadaIncome   $ 100.00                    $ 100.00Taxes      $ 25.00                        $ 46.40Foreign Tax Credit                    $ ( 15.00) Deduction for excess US Tax     $ ( 4.64) Canadian tax $ 26.76Overall Tax Rate 51.76%If income is not distributed in the same year, investor will not get any foreign tax credit as a result, worldwide tax would be 25% (U.S tax) + 46.4% (Canadian Tax) = 71.4%The most tax efficient approach is to hold the property in an LLP or LLLP, however depends on whether you plan on holding a single property, or plan on purchasing several properties.
