咁平時找卡數買野交家用都會用香港戶口有入有出 最後年尾少過年頭 係咪即係冇gain capital?- Do you know what capital gain means?

A capital gain (or loss) is the gain (or loss) resulting from the sale of a capital asset or property. According the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) a capital property is “depreciable property, and any property which, if sold, would result in a capital gain or a capital loss.” In general capital property is nearly anything that you could buy and sell as an investment or to earn income, not just physical properties.

The Canada Revenue Agency has an extraordinary power when it comes to calculating the tax owed by people who fail to file a tax return or who misrepresent their income in filings.
It’s called the “net worth” assessment, and you really don’t want to have it happen to you.
Looking at the numbers, the vast majority of Canadians avoid net worth assessments by voluntarily filing tax returns. One-third of the 27.5 million tax returns Canadians submit each year are non-taxable and are filed to claim tax benefits. The remaining two-thirds pay about $196 billion in tax annually. Most taxpayers file their returns without complications and the CRA assesses them quite quickly.
Sanctions
However, some taxpayers choose not to file their returns even when they have taxable income, or misrepresent their income in their filings. The sanctions for failing to file and filing false returns are severe, but different, for the two groups.
Although taxpayers are required to voluntarily file their tax returns, the CRA is not bound by the tax return or any information filed. The CRA may “arbitrarily” assess the taxpayer using any appropriate method for determining the tax payable by the taxpayer.
This is where an arbitrary “net worth” assessment of tax payable enters the mix.
When the taxpayer does not file a proper tax return, has insufficient records, or provides inaccurate information in his return, the Minister of National Revenue can issue a “net worth,” or arbitrary assessment of the tax payable. The consequences of a net worth assessment and any related penalties depend on the nature of the taxpayer’s delinquencies in filing or non-filing.
A net worth assessment estimates a taxpayer’s income for a year by valuing the appreciation in his or her wealth between two dates, then adjusting for consumption.
For example, if the taxpayer had net assets of $100,000 on Jan. 1 and $400,000 of net assets on Dec. 31, the increase is $300,000. If the taxpayer consumed $150,000 during that year, his or her income would increase to $450,000 for the year. The government typically overestimates the taxpayer’s income and leaves it to the taxpayer to establish whether any of the receipts are from non-taxable sources.
So, a net worth assessment is prone to errors. Inaccuracy is inherent in the method of calculation. A net worth assessment is a blunt instrument at best and the government is prone to maximize the taxpayer’s income.
Net worth
Flaws aside, a net worth assessment is valid and binding notwithstanding any error, defect, or omission in the assessment. The CRA needs only to demonstrate that the taxpayer’s net worth, adjusted for consumption, increased in the taxation year. It is not required to prove the taxpayer’s sources of income. Once the CRA demonstrates a net increase in wealth, the taxpayer has the onus to separate his or her taxable income from other various sources, such as, for example, business income, capital gains, or non-taxable sources receipts.
