The Cra does not recognize losses in the TFSA while trading frequently as tax deductible so why should they tax the gains.
ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING ON THE SITUATION. THIS IS A TAX FREE REGISTERED VEHICLE THAT WORKS INTERNALLY LIKE AN RRSP. NO GAINS OR LOSSES RECOGNIZED, ONLY THE ABSOLUTE VALUE. NOTE AN RRSP ALSO HAS SIMILAR "ACTIVITY" RULES AND QUALIFIED INVSTEMENTS
The matter is before the courts so as of now its not decided either way.
THE COURT WILL RULE ON A NARROW SET OF FACTS THAT REFLECT THE SPECIFICS. IF IF IF THE TAXPAYER WINS THEIR APPEAL, IT WILL NOT NEGATE DECADES OF COMMON LAW RULINGS THAT DEVELOPED THE S11 OF THE IT BULLETIN I POINTED YOU TO (tax law in Canada is a mix of tax legislation, regulations, application rules, foreign tax treaties and common law as taxpayers have stated their case)
The CRA / Gov likes to bully small people around and scare them into submission.
NO ARGUMENT THERE. WE REGULARLY COMPLAIN TO CRA THAT THEY FOCUS TOO MUCH AND UNFAIRLY ON LOW HANGING FRUIT. CURRENTLY CAR EXPENSES ARE SIMPLY DENIED IF THE TAXPAYER HAS NO DIARY OF MILEAGE. BECAUSE LESS THAN 20% OF TAXPAYERS KEEP DIARIES, THAT BRINGS LOTS OF AUDIT MONEY IN TO THE COFFERS AND IT IS THE FIRST THING ON THE AUDITOR's LIST. IT USED TO BE THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE BUSINESS AND REASONABILITY AND ALLOW THE DEDUCTION ON "THE STORY" BUT THEIR POSITION NOW IS THAT A KM DIARY IS AN ESSENTIAL TAX DOCUMENT AND IF NOT THERE...NADA
Most people being what they are will coward and just pay.
ACTUALLY IT IS A COST BENEFIT DECISION. A FIGHT COSTS MONEY
This foolishness is soo unclear that the CRA themselves cant even give a guideline as to what their rules are for considering a TFSA a bussiness ?
1 trade per day ? 1 per month ?
Its the usuall BS the Gov handsout.
Topper has 30 000 shares ...it repersents 10 000$
CRA is a bussiness , if its not worth it for them they wont come after you.
IT JUST MEANS LESS EXPOSURE, BUT NOT THAT CRA WILL NOT COME CALLING ON A ROUTINE AUDIT, A PROJECT AUDIT, A TFSA TRUSTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT (YES THEY TELL CRA EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR TFSA), A LUCKY SHOT, SOME OTHER MATTER RELATED TO YOUR RETURN......
