⁶ There is 2 ways for a company in Canada to not be taxable in Canada:

• A non-resident company is not taxable in Canada (in such case we may refer to the government website speaking about it, more exactly the section named "Common Law").
• If a company in Canada has a trust, an agency or a services agreement with a person or a company, and such agreement states the company in Canada is only acting on the behalf of the said person or the said company. In clear, if the company is only acting as mandatory. In such case, we need to refer to the civil code. If it's the case, as for the non-resident company, at the end of the year, we do a tax declaration stating the company is only a mandatory company and no accounts need to be filled.
