Canadian Income Tax regarding poker
I was wondering if there are any Canadian players here who use poker as a full time or part time income. If so, do you claim your winnings as taxable income? Why or why not?
I recently made a few hundred, but I think I am ok as according to wikipedia's entry on Canadian income tax "winnings from betting or gambling for simple recreation or enjoyment" are not taxable. I'm wondering though what would occur if you use poker to directly supplement your income. Not that I am anywhere near that, but I'm curious to hear from Canadians who might be in that situation.
I had issues posting this earlier (I think I hit preview instead of submit), please forgive me if this is a double post.
