canadian tax law question...

France has a wealth tax, in which you are taxed simply because you have resonsibly saved for the future. (it is based on NW)

Does Canada have such a tax?

No gift taxes nor inheritance estate taxes either. But you have to demonstrate financial independence. And you might be surprised at all the other taxes you must pay.

Here in America, people earning less than $35,000 per year pay almost nothing in taxes. And if that $35k came from investments, then it is free of Social Security tax too.

There must be some equivalent in Canada.

At what income level to taxes start to kick in?
