Q: RE: Taxes and Form T5008...I have bought the same stock from the 3 on line brokers I use. Can I combine all 3 buys and sells into one T5008 line or do I have to show trade each separately? thanks
Q: I have US stocks in my RRIF, Cash account, and TFSA that would total 150K. I am a Canadian, and I do not own any property in the US. Can I assume there are no US tax implications?
Q: Are there any tax implications for an individual with 100K+ of US stocks in a TFSA. I understand the 15% dividend withholding if such held stocks do pay a dividend.
Q: Does a LIRA have the same tax rules for US dividends as an RRSP? I understand RRSP is better than TFSA for US stocks.
Q: Hi guys. First, thank you for the great advice and it is a pleasure to belong to 5i Research. Based on percentage, how much US or foreign stock/ETFs can I have in my TFSA without having tax implications when I sell? Or, are there no tax implications because the investments are in a TFSA? Thanks.

Q: Wondering if any one can answer question. In my tax package I received a foreign property list which had Brookfield Renewable BEP.UN listed in it.
I can't figure this out as I bought this on the TSX. None of my other Brookfield holdings were on the list. Hoping someone can solve the mystery.

Q: I think you answered this kind of question before. If so, my apologies.
ENB (as an example) is a Canadian stock also trading on NYSE. If, in a taxable account, I journal the shares over to to the US$ side, will the dividend be taxed as interest income, or as US$ dividend (i.e. no dividend tax credit)?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
Could you please explain how the dividend tax credit works in a registered account compared to a non registered and corporate account. Is dividend still considered income in all of the above accounts?

Q: I am uncertain regarding calculating acb when,say, a husband and wife own the same stock in different taxable accounts. Is it required to calculate acb from both husband and wife's account, or from each account individually? Sorry to trouble you with such an elementary question. But, I did a Google search and didn't find anything.
Q: A while back, I bought some shares of Shopify that were trading in the US stock market. Last December, sold them for a nice profit. I'm presently preparing my income tax returns including form T1135 in which I must declare all foreign shares held in 2020, along with any capital gains/losses resulting from the sale of said shares. Given that Shopify domiciled in Canada but trades in both Canada and the US, should I declare the holding as well as the capital gains that resulted from its sale? Robert
Q: This question is about transferring a Canadian stock traded on the TSX that pays dividends in US dollars, like TFII might be doing, to the US dollar side of the trading account and as such, holding the dividends in US dollars rather than the US dollar dividends being translated to Canadian dollars by the broker.
For example, is there a fee or charge to do this transfer? Is there a foreign exchange exchange charge? And when the Canadian stock is to be sold on the TSX, is there a foreign exchange gain or loss?
Any assistance like a link to better understand the ins and outs of this transfer maneuver and the cost implications, if any, would be helpful to me.........Thanks.....Tom

Q: Looking for some sage 5i advice,,. ! own warrants that have yielded a good return and want to continue to own BRAGG shares. Accordingly, from a capital gain (tax) perspective is it better to exercise the warrant to own the shares OR sell the warrants, trigger the capital gain then buy the shares? When is the capital gain recognised if I roll the warrants into shares? Finally, how do I redeem the warrants for shares on TD WebBroker?
Q: Just to confirm please if dividends of Canadian companies listed on TMX and US - NYSE have a favourable tax treatment in Canada?
