Hello i have a question, it is about taxation laws on bitcoin in CAN.
Do i have to pay tax on gift cards that i buy ? if so how does it work.
If i get the bitcoin by not buying it or mining it, but lets say as a gift or by gaming.
Do i need to pay tax on the goods i purchased with bitcoins.
very tricky situation we have here.

The goods already have VAT included. What other tax you want to pay  |

VAT is usually included in the products but if you still have stash earned there, make sure not to cash it out or else you'll get an income tax.

Then if you're in Canada you don't pay taxes on gambling wins. |

Sites like Pokerstars and Full Tilt etc are offshore and I don't think Canadian players pay tax.

i'd say if you made 500$ gambling with bitcoin, you can get away with not declaring it... 10,000$ of pure profit... not so much.. |

I was speaking about this earlier with a buddy from Canada with gambling wins and he said if you are a recreational gambler and you do it for fun and not as a main source of income then you don't have to pay taxes.
If you are a pro poker player / gambler then you have to sort of declare some sort of taxes I believe
But, you're gonna cash out in GC's / cash anyway so eh don't tell mr tax man and you'll be fine.

The whole point of Bitcoin is to not pay taxes.
Except in the US because I always pay all taxes and sometimes a little bit extra for good measure. And I love the IRS because they are all great guys.
