Question: Work at home – need to register with CRA?

I recently moved to Canada, doing work at home – Excel Based financial modeling. Orders are received from abroad (my home country) by e-mail.
My total income is around 19,000 CAD, almost no Deductible Expenses.

I am about to file a tax return for 2007.

Question:
Was I supposed register as Self Employed with CRA before I file, or do I just file Tax Return form for 2007 and state my business address as my home address?

If I have to register and do it now, will I be subject to any fines, since I conducted a small business without notifying CRA in advance?

Answer: I like to know about your work at home expericence. I am looking to work at home, and would like to know how to get started if you didn’t mind…..=)

Question: Moving Expenses Tax Deductible?

Are moving Expenses still tax deductible if I am relocating to a new city but for the same employer. The relo is 250 Miles away.

Answer: They are deductable if you are not reimbursed for them.You will meet the distance test if your new workplace is at least 50 miles further from your former home than your previous workplace was from that home. For example, if your old job was 5 miles from your former home, your new job must be at least 55 miles from that home.

The time test requires you work full-time for at least 39 weeks during the 12 months immediately after your move. If you are self-employed, the time test requires you to work full-time for at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months and for a total of at least 78 weeks during the first 24 months after your move. You can deduct your moving expenses on your tax return even though you have not met the time test by the date your return is due if you expect to meet the 39-week or the 78-week test as required.

Ivory and Her Ebonies Part II

Using plastic covers, old newspaper, and old clothes in various ways is one way of producing cheap movies supplies. Another way is looking for cheaper offers on certain weekdays. The prime requirement of those who are forced to shift frequently is the cost of moving. And the way a raft would do as good a job as a motorboat in the hands of a skilled navigator; improvised supplies can amply suffice if used carefully.

There is the story of a man who spent all his time in complex calculations to manage his expenses within his limited income. As a result, later in life he became an expert economist. Those who move frequently can also, like the man, afford to do some solid planning on how to use the available stuff around to manage the moving within their means. Even if they may not become economists in later life, they will be able to give a tip or two to others on managing with cheap moving supplies.

Since many suppliers of moving supplies give customization options, buyers can choose to have only those things that are absolutely necessary. While they may not be able to compromise in the case of strong moving boxes, they can opt not to have some of the other things in the kit and use instead their own cheap moving supplies. They can have their own highlighting pens as box markers, and use their old bags instead of tote bags.

Those who have the space to store things, and the facility to store without making the collections a home for rats or spiders, can store any amount of cheap moving supplies. The plastic covers that we throw away every day can be cut into big and small strips and collected to substitute for bubble wrap. So far as time allows, old newspapers can be cut to make loose fill for cheap moving supplies. The whole shifting rigmarole would work out much cheaper that way.

Moving boxes designed to carry breakable objects like glasses will have compartments within it for each item separately, and loose fill in between. To balance the cheap moving supplies equation, one can dispense off with these specially designed cases. Old clothes can be cut and wrapped around in as many layers as necessary around the breakable objects as substitutes for cardboard partitions and loose fill.

Some companies have offers of special kits on certain days, which they offer at a lower price. Those who have patience with browsing the Internet can be on the lookout for such deals and order them on the days that they come cheap. That is one way of getting cheap moving supplies. There are other moving companies, which charge less on days other than holidays or weekends. They offer cheap moving supplies and cheap transportation rates on those days. Those who can keep track of all these are definitely bound to get a better deal.
