so what if i get BTC from faucets, gamble to 1 btc and exchange for goods and services.
Do i pay tax

Not unless you want to, that's my opinion. It's not like they'll search every BTC address.

I don't think he's asking what he can get away with doing without getting caught. I think he's asking what the requirements of the law are.

okay i found it, you can wager offshore without paying tax as well.

Well I'm pretty sure it's only the people with an official license that have to pay the taxes. I'm not sure about the gamblers, I doubt they would pay if they could get away with it.

but if you live in can you dont have to pay taxes if your gambling in fiat

You have to pay income tax if you exchange BTC to fiat. Obviously you can deduct the amount of fiat exchanged to BTC, so you pay tax from fiat profit

vendetahome gave the definitive answer for this thread for now. Until CAD and other governments start taking bitcoin for the payment of debts, they'll be treated like securities--not taxable until liquidated. This is not going to happen for a long time, unless international financial markets crash big time.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, look in the lower left corner. There should be a "move topic" link.

From what I understand there is no tax on Gambling winnings in Canada unless you are a professional/business.

More info: http://pokerati.com/2011/04/taxation-of-gambling-winnings-in-canada/

But doesnt it apply only if wagering where the casino/sportsbetting have Canadian Gambling licence ?

I remember as of a few years ago, there was no income tax for amateur gamblers, right? Should probably consult a tax professional. But my logic tells me -- no tax on winnings, but there is tax on the capital gains while holding your coins. No idea, though -- not advising anyone.

In general, if you owe taxes on gambling winnings in CAD, you probably 'technically' owe them in bitcoin. With that being said, nobody knows about your gambling winnings (except the site you're gambling on) until you move that money to fiat currency.
