  • Hello, I sold some shares held by my corporation and made $2000 in capital gains. How do I show this on my income statement and that since I am in Canada, the CRA will only tax 50% of those $2000 in gains. I believe the GIFI 8211 is used to capture the capital gains.

  • I'm trying to figure out how to pass on the CC processing fees to my client. IE: lets say I have an invoice for $100. The processing fees are 2.9% + .60 = $3.50 If the work done ( original invoice ) is $100, I add a line item for the fees ( $3.50 ) this becomes 103.50 WAVE then takes their 2.9 + .60 off of the 103.50 instead of the $100. Thus it …

However, I've received the same email again and the connection isn't working again. I didn't make any changes, it just stopped working. Is there an ongoing issue with TD Bank?
