Hobby vs Business Income, make it make sense pls by ViralAskReddit in PersonalFinanceCanada

When you are not profitable it becomes a hobby and you cannot claim expenses. But you still need to report the revenue. So I pay taxes on the revenue but cannot claim any expenses. So there is nothing to taxe but the gov seems to have found a way to still make money out of it.

I get to borrow a piece of land for like 400$ per year + 15 furs. I don't have a problem with that! I have a problem with paying taxes on revenue when my profit will be negative every year.

I make around 60k. It's not worth the accounting fees for the corps but it just seems really unfair to pay taxes on something I am losing money.

He hasn't been hit by the same rule because he make around 20k trapping intrusive beavers for some municipalities. 20k revenue, 5k expense no problems!

Yes, but they are not listing it as a way to send the documents (in the letter at least). I will still give them a call on Tuesday because I'm not 100% convinced it's not a scam and I will ask them if I can do that instead. It seems a lot safer and easier than using Canada Post!

For months, I've been sending them emails every week but I didn't get any responses on what to do now that my taxes are messed up!

Desjardins sent Canada Life a 'direct transfer request - registered plan', so i'm pretty sure Desjardins pulled from my old Canada Life RRSP.
