Question: I need to send my laptop to San francisco from mtl, and pick up it myself. what the best ?

Hi, this is my business laptop with security software on it. Im leaving Canada for australia. But meanwhile, im going for a bike trip from Vancouver to SF, and dont want to carry the laptop with me. What would be the best solution for shipping my laptop to SF, SAFELY, and pick it up there myself ? ( i would then catch a plane to australia)
By the way, its really used laptop, any fees , taxes to pay ?
Would he be better to shift directly to australia ?
Thx for your help!

Answer: Take it to a mail service store like Fed-ex or UPS . they can pack it ( so its arrival in good condition will be guaranteed.) They should also be able to answer customs questions.

Question: Small Business owner Resignation?

I have a small business in Canada with a partner. I have been out of Canada the past two years, and I don’t know what has been happening in the company, I am resigning as President and Director of the Company now threw a notary public and alll papers are ready to be signed. Well this be a problem for me in anyway with Goverment or Taxes or anything else or am I exempt from everything in the company and I have nothing to do with its past or future?

Answer: The past might be a problem and would be up to a judge, but you’re free and clear for the future.

If the past ever made it into court, they would examine whether you knew or should have known what was going on. If your partner was up to something underhanded and was very good at disguising it, you would most likely not be considered liable. As partner, you had a certain role that carries certain expectations of knowing what’s going on in the company, but again if your partner was careful and you weren’t just turning a blind eye, then you’re 99% okay.

Question: How do I pay and file taxes if I am an Independent Contractor?

How do I pay and file taxes if I am an Independent Contractor?

Can I pay my Taxes, Social Security, and Medicare per week?

How to file them per year?

Thanks

Answer: Excellent answer ^. I thought it was $400, though, not $600. Years back, I would have advised you to deposit into a savings account what you’d be paying to the IRS and just pay them at the end of the year to collect the interest, but in this day and age that wouldn’t be all that much. Don’t forget as an independent to save ALL receipts for gas, tools, anything business related, up to and including a portion of your phone expenses.
