People like to dunk on Canada but did you know we can legally run no-kyc businesses (as long as txns under $1000) and our small business tax rate is only 9% (provincial +federal combined) on profits?

If you work for a salary you are absolutely rekt but if you run a business you pay very little tax.

Oh and your first $50,000 in dividends are also 0% tax.

The fact that we can buy non KYC bitcoin at the post office still blows my mind.

This is insane. Enjoy it while you can.

For real tho

Except for the cameras that are in post offices 🤷‍♂️😜

Wear a mask 😷

Mask sunglasses and hat, still didn’t feel like enough 😂 but I’m a bit paranoid. I just don’t feel like the Canadian government is just “letting” it happen. 🤷‍♂️ I could be off my rocker.

That's it. I'm driving an 2hrs and moving...

🎶 oh, canada

I had no idea I guess thats how Bullbitcoin can let you buy non KYC sats.

Sounds about like the US. Rekt if you’re an employee, great if you run a successful business.

I have a friend who pays almost 50% tax in California!

The highest california income tax bracket is 12%, the rest is likely federal.

That's still a fuck ton for state tax. Fuck California.

Nuts! I’m in Oregon but by having an S corp in construction and then writing off a ton for my farm through a schedule F my actual rate has always been sub 10%

S Corp?!

It’s a type of corporation

Yeah. I know.

S Corp only has benefits if the company is fairly large…

Not true unless you have a strange definition of “fairly large”. When I started I didn’t have any employees so the break even point for the added expense of payroll for the s corp vs just having an LLC was $45k annually. I don’t think any business that the owner makes over $45k is fairly large

Interesting. Didn’t realize the BE aspect was so low.

Please don't conflate California with America.

I have no snarky comments. Just jealousy.

If any Canadians want to make some extra income, buy $999 of no KYC and sell it P2P to lowly Americans on RoboSats. You'll also be doing a great service for your fellow bitcoiners.

How much ammunition can your magazines hold?

Enough. We are plenty armed as well.

Peak poutine right there 🤝

Is Zelle accessible for Canadians ?

That's right. Canada has a relatively favorable tax environment for small businesses. The small business tax rate is only 9%, which is much lower than the general corporate tax rate of 15%. Additionally, there is a $50,000 exemption on dividends, which means that the first $50,000 of dividends that a small business owner receives is not taxed.

The no-KYC business rule is also relatively relaxed in Canada. Businesses that meet certain criteria, such as having annual gross revenue of less than $1,000, are not required to collect personal information from their customers. This can be a major advantage for businesses that want to operate with minimal compliance overhead.

Of course, there are also some downsides to running a business in Canada. The cost of living can be high, and the regulatory environment can be complex. However, the tax advantages can make it a worthwhile proposition for some businesses.
