What is the meaning of "residence" in the context of the Income Tax Act?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Waldman v. The Medical Services Commission of British Columbia, 1997 CanLII 3113 (BC SC):
The reference to Rand J. in the passage quoted from Papadogiorgakis is to Thomson v. M.N.R., 1946 CanLII 1 (SCC), [1946] S.C.R. 209 at 224-5, a case which considered the meaning of "ordinarily resident" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act. In the passage quoted, Rand J. considered the meaning of "residence" and went on to say: It may be limited in time from the outset, or it may be indefinite, or so far as it is thought of, unlimited. On the lower level, the expressions involving residence should be distinguished, as I think they are in ordinary speech, from the field of "stay" or "visit".
