Q: This is a US traded fund with a high dividend that I am thinking of buying. I know you guys aren’t accountants so I won’t hold you to it, but any inkling of what withholding tax would be taken off the distribution if held by a Canadian in a non-registered account? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Even though I share your positive outlook of Stella-Jones in your recent answer to Stuart, could SJ be a good candidate for tax-loss selling with the intention to buy it back later?
Your advice is always valuable and highly appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I toyed with doing this on the Forum but didn't know how to start a new discussion thread.
I would like to ask if any 5i member has experience (anecdotal or otherwise) with US probates. Since so many of us hold US stocks in our portfolios, and it's almost certain they will be considered US property in our estate when the time comes, I'm quite keen to know what the ramifications are and if it is as big a headache as I imagine.
Perhaps you could also tell me how to move any further discussion onto the Forum. Thanks a lot.
Molly

Q: Gresham asked a question on Friday about moving stocks/cash in a non-registered account, funded from borrowed money, to a TFSA. You indicated that the interest would continue to be deductible. That is not correct, as interest on borrowed money used to make TFSA contributions is not tax deductible.
Q: Strategy question:
I have an unregistered account currently showing a profit, but I do I have a number of loosing stocks in the mix. The unregistered account was built on a home-line of credit so the interest is currently claimable, which is something I'd like to preserve.
My goal is to move funds to my TFSA while maximizing the immediate tax benefit. Am I able to sell the loosing stocks at loss, claim the loss, and move the cash to the TFSA to buy a different equity? Or is it better to just do a trade-in-kind to move my current holding into the TFSA? Do either of these strategies impact my ability to claim the loan interest?
Thanks

Q: Hello, the rumour on the street is that the federal government will be raising the capital gains tax. Does it make sense to crystallize gains this year, pay the tax, move the money into an unused registered account ?
Q: I own enb and presently have a 3000 dollar loss, what is the rule re selling for tax loss and how soon after selling can I purchase again. Also I have a substantial capital gain from the sale of real estate this year. Will I be able to use this tax loss against the capital gain?
Cheers, Doug

Q: When purchasing International ETS's within in an RRSP is there any withholding tax advantages to holding US traded ETF's?
Q: Do you recommend a level of international exposure in a TFSA even though there is a withholding tax? Would the best strategy be to overweight international exposure in the RRSP and underweight in TFSA.
Q: With the conversion of ATD.B to ATD.A shares, would it be correct to assuming this share conversion would not result in 2021 capital gain? Alimentation Couche Tard news release did not indicate any tax consequences. Thank you.
Q: I have been looking at HCAL, for the dividends. I not sure I understand the Non-Cash distribution. They are showing a non-cash distribution in the amount of $2.324 payable in December. They state the distribution will not be paid in cash but will automatically reinvested in additional units of the ETF and immediately consolidated so the number of units held by the unitholder and the net asset value of the ETF, will not change. So, what does change, with the non cash distribution?

Q: Hi Team,
On your response to M Atal today, I am concern by
"The main issue is the tax deferral set up". ?
Horizons has already had to change its structure to adapt to new tax regulations. Horizon clients knows that, I had HXT & HXCN before the change structure. The change structure was made smoothly.
Can you develop "The main Issue" ? Do you mean Horizon will not be able to maintain the TRI structure in future ?
I like TRI structure for deferred gains.
Thanks
Best Regards

Q: Tax question - do you know whether or not CDR's of any of the 18 US equities count toward T1135 declared holdings?
Also if I hold AAPL shares in a separate US account would the core holding there affect its capital gain status if a CDR for AAPL were also to be traded at a different adjusted cost?
