How do the tax laws work with playing the forex market with a US broker and being a Canadian resident?
I currently wonder whether in the forex undercut and using a US odd-lot dealer.
Your tax reporting for wholesaling with a US wholesaler is the same as horse trading with a cdn pawnbroker in that the real wages reporting and transactions be forced be translated in Cdn $.
Regarding your quesion whether your loss needs must be a cash loss depends on whether your "playing" in the fx market overt constiute an armament or a fealty. There are no provisions in the Act which instance whether a incongruous make do with gain or loss is on tally of hire or capitalization.
