302 Jurgen HissenTax my income, but don't tax something I never received. I received stock and the CRA is asking for dollars. I will gladly pay 44% of the stock that I received, or 44% of the dollars I get when I sell the stock. But I shouldn't have to pay 44% of what the stock was worth. I didn't realize at the time that I was effectively buying those shares on margin, and would certainly not have done so, if I'd known. We are being taxed as though the company gave us cash, and we then went and bought stock with it. However, the company gave us stock. If the company had actually given us cash, they should have been required to withhold taxes on that cash. This would have prevented the problem.

309 DonThis law is completely unfair and should be an embarrassment to Canada - yet we bumble along too afraid to stand up and make a change. This law can be summarized as "if you win we win - if you lose, well we still win". An egregious, unjust example of overzealous lawmakers that have no knowledge of the real world simply doing a cash grab - hang your head in shame Canada.

313 AnonymousThe crash has lost all I made and I probably owe +$60k in tax, I have previous year losses and would sell now if I thought I could balance the books that way
