Default Re: Canadian Online Poker Tax Thread

Not to mention all of the promo material for the Canadian Poker Tour Finals are touting a $1 million tax free prize pool.

These advertisements are everywhere - in magazines, one the web, etc...

Things may change but for now the government views poker winnings the same as hitting the 649 - a winfall. A few may show a profit but overall the government views gambling as (extracted from your linked article) "a losing proposition for most players".
