Calculating the tax payable on Canadian estates that include U.S. assets

If you own property or other assets in the U.S., fully understanding the tax implications is essential. Here is a tool that can give you an idea of the tax payable based on your situation. Please note that this tool calculates federal taxes only. Depending on the U.S. state in which the assets are located, both tax at death and inheritance tax may be payable. However, the State of Florida does not impose tax at death.
