CRA challenges TFSA day trading
15 January 2015 - 2:31pm
In contrast to s. 146(4)(b), which exempts an RRSP’s income from a business to the extent that the income is from trading qualified investments (see 2014-0538221C6 F), s. 146.2(6) indicates that a TFSA is taxable on its taxable income from any business.
CRA apparently is challenging day trading within TFSAs, and a case is expected "in the next year or two."
