Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Expect to pay taxes and duties, if it doesn't happen, then bonus for you. Depending on the carrier, you may get hit with ridiculously expensive brokerage fees by companies like purolator, FedEx, UPS. Not sure if USPS/Canada post charge brokerage fees.
Companies like UPS just spin a wheel and pick a random number for their fees. I've had them want $120 for a $500 helmet and $90 for $60 worth of car parts.

I get I have to pay that. but I'm trying to figure out what I will pay when it gets to my door. that's why I threw out an easy number, $1000.
duties, no idea what they are? taxes, just BC taxes? US taxes too? you guys make it sound easy yet I can not even begin guess how much that total is.
I know you said forget about it, but I figured I'd provide some useful information for next time.
A good rule of thumb from my experience is to expect at a bare minimum, a 12% tax. You can then throw in your item into the CBSA calculator below to confirm.
I'm not sure how accurate the duties section is. I've brought back some automotive stuff three times in the past year that were made in non-CUSMA countries via the Point Roberts crossing and I never got charged duties and only taxes. The website says I should've been charged a 8.5% duties fee.
If buying anything internationally, always go for USPS/CanadaPost as there are no bullshit brokerage fees on top like UPS. If a website allows you to prepay for duties/taxes like B&H and Amazon Intl, then it wouldn't matter too much what the shipping option is.

He used to be pretty funny too.. Probably around the same time Joe Rogan was still having interesting guests. And then they started hanging out with each other and Elon lol
My uncle is 60 years old now, has about $100K in RRSP. He retired, so $0 reported income. So if he withdrew $30,000 a year, which means $15,000 is taxable income (capital gains)? I don't have knowledge of taxes for investment income, but trying to get some knowledge of the basics what tax implications on the withdrawals. Like he doesn't want to withdraw money and get dinged heavily with taxes (ideally zero to minimal taxes).
$30K per year on a $100K RRSP nest egg? Does he plan to live for 3.5 yrs?
I'm no financial planner but not sure if that's good financial planning. Maybe take out $5000 per yr just as top up to CPP, OAS, company pension? Prob 0 or close to 0 taxes on that small amount of withdrawal.
I think someone on here did the math before in regards to emptying out RRSP and collecting old age pension. 100k doesn't seem like much and emptying out RRSP might be a viable option.

I still love Chapelle and think he's hilarious, but damn, it's so disheartening when you peak behind the curtain to really get to see how these people are.
Chapelle was always touted as the guy who walked away from his show and a big fat contract based on principle, now we see he's just the same type of clout-chasing social climber like any IG Influencer.
It's gross to watch.
It's also odd watching a nerd like Elon try so hard to be a part of this whole LA edge-lord comedy scene, dude wants to be in that celebrity world so badly. It's bizarre because this man is running a bunch of different companies, you'd think that would take precedence in his life.

Withdrawals from an RRSP plan normally have taxes withheld for taxes. His bank person would know enough to advise him to withdraw in smaller amounts (under $5k per withdrawal) to reduce the percentage of taxes withheld. But if he doesn't have much reported income, then they should mostly get refunded when your uncle files his next tax return.
He would get issued a T4RSP from that withdrawal and would get taxed on the full amount. No 50% capital gain since it's held in a tax sheltered account.
Your uncle would probably do best to minimize his taxable income to around ~$20k per year if he wants to get the maximum GIS.
So I was up at Fort St. John last week for work, and for disclosure, I'm Korean - and probably was the only Asian person I saw there lol.
Anyway, went into a restaurant by myself for dinner, ordered a Calamari and some Pasta dish.
Calamari comes out first, and I get a pair of chopsticks but no other cutlery. So I'm like ok, maybe this is just what they do here. Then the pasta comes out, and again no cutlery. So I ask the waitress for a fork and spoon (politely), and she goes "oh yeah, I'll get you some".
I shrugged it off, ate, tipped, and left - but did something nefarious happen there? lol
