请不要把你所谓的“小生意”来抵你的收入后在去算税。你从“小生意”中并没有盈利。

I was talking about tax deduction, like RRSP, donation etc, not some "small business". Plus, deduct tax by doing "small business" is also legal here.

Pure tax rate doesn't mean anything. In China you have lots of other "donations" to the government. 在上海，所谓“四金”就是一个例子。我说过，我去年在加拿大income tax和taxable income之间的比例是22%，比我想象的要低。如果Sean你认为只有0%才算低的话，那我们两个的standing就完全不同了。

我女朋友是会计，她告诉我在美国的个人所得税率和加拿大差不多，但是那里能减税的项目特别多。而且收入也高。

在中国，个人所得税是比较乱的一块，国家在征收个人所得税方面手段很少，正所谓“上有政策，下有对策”。

let us say, your total income is $70,000, your taxable income is $50,000 . You paid $15,00 on TAX, you can't say your tax rate is only 21% coming from 15,000/70,000!

There is a somewhat "incorrect" impression that Canadian tax is high.

True, Canadian income tax is high, but there are fewer other tax/premium than other countries.

When asked, I usually say this: "when social security and medicare premium are included, Canada and US have about the same tax rate on income. Canadian sales tax doubles the US - but when you are out of a job, your medical is still covered".

I don't have too many problems with Canadian tax, I came to US because of Canadian dollars, not Canadian taxes.

I am not smart, but I am not stupid enough to mix that up either. The number is coming from the CCRA tax return report. I paid less than 12K tax in total(after tax return), and my taxable income is higher and 56K(after all deduction including RRSP, donations etc). I believe this resolves your issue

国内做大买卖的人是不是流行在高尔夫球场上谈生意啊!
