Why are lottery winning taxed but in Canada its tax free?
Really? Lottery winnings aren't taxed in Canada. Wow. Well our government see any kind of winnings as income, so they tax the heck out of it.
I used to enjoy watching game shows and people would win these wonderful prizes and then I realized more than likely, unless they were rich--they would have to sell the stuff because they would be taxed on it like it was income. So some little granny wins $50,000 worth of items on Price is Right--and she has to pay income tax on the $50,000 as if it was cash income. Fair--no, but what can you do?
because in canada , the government realises that though the winnings aren't taxed, you will spend the money which will then be taxed. by not taxing the winnings it also gives more people a reason to play.
