OK this is a real dumb move Canada’s CRA is trying to do.

I own a small home recording studio. Almost all the gear I have bought has been out of stores. (Full Price)
So now if a want to sell some of my gear, off Ebay or other, I’m going to have to pay taxes ?
Tell me how does that work ?

Is Canada real moving into the direction of some form of socialist country ? I’m really questioning now if it is ??
This CRA move is going to destroy Canada’s economy.

From a banner from Russian “pro-piracy banner competition “:

“Remember: You pay money to Bill. Bill pays taxes to Bush. And Bush will destroy people like us!”

“Its a question of fairness.”

Yes, it is a question of fairness. For example, do Canadian taxpayers deserve that their taxes are being spent on ridiculous stuff like enforcing korporate kartels’ bottom lines? Bill C-61 and the like?

I believe that if you sell goods in a country you should pay tax just like every one else running a business. Just because you are listing in the electronic equivalent of the local newspaper or your website is hosted abroad should not make you exempt from tax.

Its a question of fairness.

How will it help you if eBay PowerSellers pay confiscatory taxes? Do you think you’re going to get a tax cut because of that?
