Description
Canada's so-called "departure tax" is leaving many Canadians stunned. As more citizens consider leaving due to affordability, taxes, crime, healthcare concerns and economic uncertainty, many are discovering a shocking reality: Ottawa may tax certain investments the moment you leave the country.
After comments from Gad Saad reignited debate, Canadians are asking a simple question: why does the government get to tax gains that haven't even been realized?
In this episode of Tap the Maple, we examine Canada's exit tax, deemed dispositions, who gets hit, what assets are exempt, whether there are legal ways to reduce the impact, and why growing numbers of Canadians are researching life outside Canada.
Is this fair tax policy? Or is Canada making it financially painful to leave?
