@chek.news: Gary and Liz McLeland do everything they can for their son Tim. He’s physically healthy but was born with Down syndrome and was later diagnosed with autism. He’s 31 but functions more like a five-year-old and needs constant care and supervision. “When he was about 10, there was a recommendation about setting up a trust for him that would be used to pay for expenses in his adult life, so it was a long-term kind of thing,” Gary explained to CHEK News. It was funded by friends of theirs two decades ago, but now, almost 21 years later, they’re faced with the realization that next year, on the 21st anniversary, under Canada Revenue Agency rules, they have to pay tax on the accrued capital gains. #News #CHEKNews #CampbellRiver #VancouverIsland #BC #BritishColumbia #Canada #CapitalGains #Tax #CapitalGainsTax #DownSyndrome #Autism

if they had set it up as an rdsp within a tfsa, they would've benefited from up to 90k in fed grants and been sheltered from taxes

This is misleading. The capital gains tax only affects 0.13% of the population. It’s a tax for the rich. If you’re poor ignore this, it’s rich ppl propaganda to make u mad when it doesn’t affect you

The family has probably been using his ‘fund’ to hide their own wealth and skip on some taxes ✌️

Just a reminder that if you’re affected by this increase, you are not one of the poors.

First this is very misleading on what the new tax rates are and also they want to use supports paid for by taxes but not have to pay taxes? Seems a little out of touch I’m a disabled single mom *

so he is partially atleast cared for by provincial government services, but they moan when they have to pay taxes on what sounds like a humongous sum of money if they are concerned about these changes

ewwie :
people think that they're being taxed at 50 or 67% on capital gains. no it means that portion of the gain is taxed at your marginal rate which is much much lower (depending on your inc of course obv)

Except they won’t be pulling out over 250,000 a year? And it’s increasing the amount of money that has to be taxed. It’s not the tax itself.

So we shouldn’t increase the taxes cause one family is going to pass down a house to their disabled son who will have to sell cause he isn’t able to work and therefore we shouldn’t tax anyone ?

I am sick to death of seeing people work so hard for their money, and then have the damn government come and take it, absolutely disgusting.

Could it be set up as a non profit dedicated to him? I think even taxed for this at 50% would not be fair.

She should have gotten a Hansen trust fund. It’s set up for individuals with disabilities. Also his capital gains would have to be over 250000 a year for it to increase.

This is probably 1% of the cases. Media elite trying to do everything to avoid paying their fair share of tax.

It's about grabbing cash for an extremely large and inefficient government, it's never about helping the citizens 💯.
