I'm a Canadian citizen living in Canada. I also host couple of websites on dedicated servers located in USA. Most of my income comes from USA companies such as Google. In such case, do I need to file income tax to both USA and Canada, or just Canada? I'm not really sure if I'm considered "operating business in USA" in my case.

Thanks much!

    DON'T WORRY about it! If everyone that had such ties to the US had to pay income tax, it would be a real mess for ALL! Outside of taxes collected by the US companies for sales tax and various other taxes, HIDDEN from you, or listed as things like sales tax, I doubt you have to pay a PENNY!!!!!

    Of course, I am NOT an accountant or lawyer, but if you are not a citizen and not a resident and you do not have any body here, such as a corporation that is a US corp, or a us warehouse you ship from, I doubt you owe a PENNY!

    The ONE exception is that some STATES are now asking for salestax on sales sold by affiliates that are in those US states. THEY may hit you, but that is a concern by EVERYONE, and people are fighting it. AMAZON, EBAY, etc... are fighting it.
