Default Re: Canadian Online Poker Tax Thread

I think the article only attired the attention of someone from the revenue agency and after that they reviewed the fact and concluded that since he was playing for a living it was a business. The main point here is that a tribunal decision would be very interesting for most of us.

Also for the non-residency. I'm in the process of leaving Canada to not take any chances since I like to live oversea anyway. I consulted a lawyer about it and its more than just severing your ties with the canada. He said to me that you also need a fiscal residence in another country. PM if you want more details. You also need to stop your canadian free medical insurance.
