: u.s. Canada tax treaty real estate immigration
Dear David, I appreciate you replying to me. I have one further question. In Canada are gifts taxable? For instance if a family member gave me a check (not for providing a service) Many Thanks, J ========================= david ingram replies: Gifts are not taxable to the recipient in any country that I know of. An exception in the US would be that if you received a very large gift that the "giver" should have paid gift tax on, than the recipient could have to pay the tax that the giver should have paid.
