Canadian Online Poker Tax Thread

[Tuco]

TCFE,

Thank you for all your (free) advice in this thread. I have a couple questions if you dont mind indulging me.

1. If a player uses a non-canadian bank to withdraw his/her earnings to, does RevCan have any proceedures to find that information or arbitrarily estimate someone's (in the event of an audit) income?

2. If a poker player has a job that pays 50K a year and that player makes 100K on the side playing poker, is it still a hobby if it takes less time than their real job but makes more money?

3. Would a person who makes a large amount each year be better off withdrawing it all at once yearly (as opposed to monthly) so its treated like a windfall?

Thanks for any further advice you can offer.

Tuco.
