But as what I know, depends you are an international student or an immigrant; and before you immigrated, you claimed this or not. Even gifted from relatives or others, it's still your income, might got auditing from CRA, and might be checked for money laudry(any amt more than $10,000 for international transfer and $3,000 for domestic transfer). w4 V% Z! Q8 NMoney was gifted internationally has special rules, might not pay any tax, but you must expain in your tax file. 2 c7 E- F; Y/ P) i- G4 j" fDoes sb. works for CRA give a more clear explaination?
Tax base is not just salary, bonus....it also includes stock, property like vacation house money, gifts from others..., money from dead person's will....
It will be difficult for CRA to determine whether the money is from me or from my parents. If I claim that this is my own money in China, I don't think they should charge me any tax.
首先这个回答的结果是对的,接受别人的钱不用交税,但是搞不清楚为什么CRA会用遗产税来解释,我感觉这个根本就不是遗产税的问题,而是馈赠现金的问题。问题在于不管你接受的是你爸妈的钱,还是朋友的钱,都不用纳税 .... S9 I& ?8 o' |( H, v3 f s F" w

和遗产税有直接的关系。馈赠交税是为了防止遗产逃税。美国是有遗产税的,因此馈赠也必须缴税,否则,父母临死前将财产赠给子女,就可以免交遗产税了。因为加拿大没有遗产税,因此馈赠也就不用交税了。7 B7 b+ o9 U9 P: c
" W. i: y$ m. [附带说一下,很多同胞以为美国税少,其实不然,美国的遗产税,公司税,馈赠税,房产税名目多,而且狠。在房版,很多朋友对美国房价羡慕不已,殊不知房美国地产税比加拿大的 mortgage 还高。可以说,全北美地区,亚省是避税的天堂。
# A' ] X' F; F但是在你这个设想中,当你把这个房子送给你父母的时候你是需要缴税的,需纳税的金额是你拥有期间升值部分的一半。可能比较理想的办法是你现在把钱送给你父母,让你父母买房。你父母买房后可以不住那里,那套房子有四年的时间可以在出租的同时也认作是你父母的主要居住场所(这个叫做Rental Deemed to be Principal Residence,但最长四年)。四年后你父母回去居住,想住多长住多长,以后房子卖掉若升值则不用缴税。
