This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi David: Can you help in general terms with this one. I've been asked to give a short one-hour presentation in October in San Francisco at an educational conference. I would not be paid. Would that be a problem for me tax-wise? I'm also part of an advisory etc. for a book and am paid a measly $25. US for each time I participate in giving feedback about the Cdn. edition. Would I need to pay tax on that? Thanks. Enjoy your constant info flow. I've learned a lot. MXXXXXXXXX ==================================== david lingam replies: If you are not paid, there will be no tax problem with the presentation. You are allowed to make a presentation AND receive an honorarium for your expenses at an educational symposium under B1 status. Assuming you are receiving the $25.00 in Canada for work in Canada, it is taxable as self-employed income on a T2124. We would likely charge you more for the form than you received in fees. However, as an educator, you will get your name inthe credits and that has value, n'est-ce pas? david ================= Answers to this and other similar questions can be obtained free on Air every Sunday morning.
