Man's online bragging about big insurance payout costs him big time

VANCOUVER - A Williams Lake man who bragged on Facebook about a big payout from the Insurance Corp. of B.C., after committing fraud has pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
Corbin Joseph has been fined $2,000 and ordered to pay more than $18,000 in restitution in connection with his claim.
 
A dishonest Canadian? Klein, you have to stop posting these false stories. If it were about an American we might have believed it.

Sort of like a guy collecting unemployment and going to other countries while collecting and bragging about it on a website that deals with the company that he was fired from.

They actually caught on to that (thru the customs declaration forms you need to fill out by re-entering the country).
Was no big deal though, since I'm still unemployed without any form of government income.

So, if I would have declared it, I would have just gotten a non-payment break for that vacation time, and it would have resumed later, and giving me more weeks at the end.

Yeah, like guys that win prizes and never tell his home government, but brags about the wins on a site in a whole other country. That's a job for a Columbo.

I told you before, we don't pay taxes for winnings ! Nothing on National Lottery tickets, no taxes on casino wwinnings, and certaintly not on prizes of merchandise.

If you want to gamble and take all the winnings home with you - then Canada is a place to do it !
You win $100.000 in the casino here or $100.000 in a lottery - it's all yours !
No tax man here for any sort of gambling winnings, or any sweepstakes !

Canadians on the other hand, when they visit Las Vegas, and do win a big sum, the US Tax Man is right there in the Casino and takes 30% away !
Then they need to file some paperwork once they get home, and they might get 20-25% back from those taxes paid in the US (after fees).

You are wrong. There is no tax man in the casinos. If I win $7000, the casino counts $7000 out in my hands.....all hundreds.

I get a slip of paper showing my win and it's also reported to IRS. At tax time, if I have the proof of losses against the $7000, then it cancels it out.

So when you say the tax man is right in the casino, you are lying and don't even know what you are talking about. Just remember, I know the casinos like you know beer.

Also......"take the 30% away" ??? We are taxed at different levels. Not everybody is 30%.

OH smartie ! What if you don't provide a SS number ?
The tax man will just give you the full sum , anyways ?

Here we don't even need to supply ours !
There is no one that would want to verify it, nor see it !

Go yahoo or google !
Such as this site :

[h=2]Welcome to Casino Tax Rebate [SUP]®[/SUP][/h]After all this time gambling at the casinos you finally win that big jackpot in Las Vegas. When you collect your gambling winnings imagine the surprise at having 30% tax deducted from your money. Yes in the United States gambling winnings are considered taxable income and are taxed at 30%. This is generally a surprise to foreign gamblers, as in their home country these casino winnings are not taxed at all.

If you don't have ID or something, you will not get paid....how would they know if you are old enough?!!

The casinos give you your winnings....period, the end. You only need the Tax form piece of paper if your winnings is over $1199.00 per jackpot.

I can win jackpots all day (and I have) that are below that amount and there's no tax form required. The machine pays you. I can win 20.......$1000 jackpots and there's no IRS reporting by the casinos.


This is from the IRS.....I have all my records and never have to pay on my winnings because I have losses to claim and cancel out the wins.
Only the IRS site has the correct info about our taxes.

"You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize deductions. However, the amount of losses you deduct may not be more than the amount of gambling income reported on your return. Claim your gambling losses on Form 1040, Schedule A, as a miscellaneous itemized deduction that is not subject to the 2% limit.
It is important to keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses. To deduct your losses, you must be able to provide receipts, tickets, statements or other records that show the amount of both your winnings and losses."

Nobody takes money for taxes out of your payouts. You get it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if it were your first time to Vegas, and you as an American got lucky the first time you were there. You pay taxes !

As a foreigner (as the website I posted earlier) 30% gets taking off the winning amount instantly, as soon as you get paid (if it's over $1000, I think) !
If I was there, and threw in $3 in a machine , in Vegas, and hit $10.000. I would get paid (as a foreigner) only $6666.66.
And that's the rule !

I'ld have to come back home and fight with the IRS to get some of those taxes paid back to me.
Would have nothing, absoultley nothing to do with our taxes up here (I don't need to declare them - never had, and never will be that way) !
We don't get taxed on winnings and we don't have a tax form to even declare those winnings, because the government here - doesn't take a cent from those !

Get it !!!!????

You win in my country.
You pay taxes in my country.
No one says you have to gamble in my country.
Is not gambling called gambling because you employ risk and odds of walking away with money?
No winning amount is a guarantee for you.

While you are enjoying my beautiful country, do you not enjoy the protection of civil servants?
We want your money.
We need to pay people to refrain from clocking you after you mutter disrespectful utterances regarding my country.
If you worked in my country; you pay tax.
Operative word - WORK
Meaning to hold gainful employment.

So - stay out of my country because we can't risk having what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Meaning you may never leave.

And in regards to termination due to posting - first one needs to be employeed to be terminated.

Understand?

How is the tax system there? Property tax per year? Auto tax per year? Income tax rate?

They would pay you the $10 grand, but it would be reported to IRS.
Unlike me, they would take $3333.33 away from me instantly.

If I play in a casino here - nothing gets reported to the taxation center. I take $10K home and no one knows about it, for sure not the taxation people (government) !

It depends where you live and how much value your property is.
Mine is valued at over $300.OOO, and I pay about $2400 property taxes on it.
Just got back from the registry office to get a new sticker on my licence plate, I paid $78 and a few cents.
Income tax, depends how much you earn (under $14.500 per year = nothing, between $14.500 to around $28.000 it's 15.5%, above $28K to $40K it,s 17.5% and I believe the highest tax rate rate is 27.5% , - less than capital gains taxes at 30%).
Somewhere around there anyways, I don't have a tax form infront of me, right now.
But, you'll also need to add provincial income taxes to it, which can be up to another 10% to 12%

I did post a UPS paycheck on here a few years back, all in all about 27% of all income was taking off my paycheck in all deductions, including union fees, Canada pension plan, unemployment insurance. So, if you earn $1270 gross, it's $1000 net pay with all deductions.

IF you earned $1270 gross and your net was $1000....that would come to around 21.3% paid in deductions. At 27%, the net would be more like $927 give or take.
