If you provide services to an organization in exchange for
money, and are paid as an employee (tax withheld at source,
income shown on a T-4 slip), you may wish to explore whether
your relationship with that organization can be described
as a business relationship (in which you provide consulting services)
rather than an employment relationship.
Whether this can in fact be done will depends on the facts of
your relationship with the organization. Consult a competent tax
advisor. If you can do it, there are numerous advantages, including:
- no tax withheld at source
- one-year deferral of tax through use of business year-end
- expenses deductible by you, including possibly a portion
of your residence costs for your home office
