do you have to pay federal tax and provincial tax when self employed?

Answer 1

Of course you do. You will not only be paying income taxes, you will also be paying the retirement taxes directly that are generally withheld from the paycheques of employees.

Answer 2

Under tax law, you can do this:

You pay tax on the net income you earn when self employed, therefore a 0 or nil net income will result in 0 or nil taxes owing (but they'll still get you on CPP and the like), at least thats what every tax accountant will tell you.

Answer 3

you have to pay taxes until after you die. you notice i said until AFTER you die. I'm retired and have to pay taxes on my retirement just like it was a monthly pay check

Answer 4
