lol I had started a threat not realizing it was already started, was being pointed out to me :)

I paid the 145 or so for HEC and did the challenge test for PAL. total cost 200.00. Ex military, but I learned alot and if that was purpose..then worth the cost of admission IMHO.

Did the same thing myself.

I found doing the Hunters Safety Course in 1994 it was an evening, and a full weekend. I did it first, then challenged the exam for my FAC ( PAL)....back then, the part about firearms safety was a large component of the Hunters Safety course. Being ex-army as well, I was already familiar with firearms, and things like trigger discipline, so it was a relatively easy process.

Of course the FAC exam back then also had pistols as a regular part of it.

And since the thread has been revived.

mark270wsm.....please do educate the rest of us how you made out with your hunters safety strategy?

I think I got mine for 100.00 in 1994 (I had an FAC since 1988 but it had expired so I had to redo it all). Handgun was also included the instructor said that was the last time it would be included as the government was making it a seperate course.

Werner, Agrred with everything listed below. The truth

30% for meals according to my QuickBooks, program. Every business guy will agree rights are good to reduce your income. The problem people have is they forget, the cost of doing the business and the write are built into the cost. I.E 10K deck = 5K materials and labor 5K profit (example not real.) The remaining 5K is taxable, unless you have other expenses. On years I will have a big tax liability I invest in CCA to reduce income paid (new truck/excavator) Some people might call this cheating however equipment has to be replaced or upgrade to meet the needs of works, I started with a small truck and as the income/work scope got heavier my truck size changed. It was also directly related to income earned and write off (CCA) gained by doing the upgrade. I like you do not brake the rules, but live within the guidelines provided by Rev Can. Oh BTW, like you I have given up claiming meals as the ROI is only 30%, and I won’t spending 100 bucks to claim $33.00, the tax is less in most cases.

If these are claiming this income on taxes, whatever profit is left from actual, it goes towards income on there real job T4 amount, which might make them in tax disadvantage situation. My .02 cents.

Getting on Revenue Canada's bad side is not something you want to do. You can arrange your tax situation to be as much in your favour as you can, but there are two things you cannot do (a) not report income and (b) report expenses which you did not incur directly related to your business.
