Are you really saying that you pay 100% of your profit in capitol gains tax?
seems like it'federal and provincial have same percentage,no point selling may as well give it to the kids when i cease to exist and let them deal with it lol
Ok I looked it up and only 50% of capital gains is taxable. That doesn't mean they take 50% it means they put 50% of your capital gains into your income and that then get the tax rate applied to it after deductions etc
That's not what the tax code says at all. 50% of capital gains is completely untaxed. The other half has the normal income tax rate for your bracket applied to it after deductions. If they both took 50% of your income there would be nothing left
one of us has some brains

Better hurry up and geter done. To avoid any penalties on what you owe you have to fill by midnight

You don't pay capital gains on your primary residence.
However if this is another home RRSP's are a good way around this too, if you buy a house for $400k and sell it for $500k you have $100k in Capital gains, but taxed at 50%. All you have to do is put $50k into an RRSP and you will have no tax bill from the sale. Most people have more RRSP contribution room than they will ever be able to use, and as such can use part of this room as a tax deferral mechanism.
In the 14 years I've been paying taxes I've never ended up owing at the end of the year, always a refund, this year a walked away with a $6,700 refund, the wife almost $1,000.

He'll enjoy it, but it won't be enough for him and he'll be back for even more next year.
It means you're taxed on 50%, it does not mean your tax rate is 50%.
You can't hide from the tax man.....rrsp only delays the tax.....the man always gets his money, UNFORTUNATELY .
