Mrsolj, ako dobro razumem, ti bi izvadio kes USD iz americke banke, odneo u Kanadu, onda tamo promenio u CAD i stavio to na neki racun u kanadskoj banci. Ne znam kako se na tu zaradu placa porez u Americi (mada znam da je stopa 28%, ali ne znam kako se obracunava), a ne znam ni da li se gubitak može odbiti od primanja pri racunu poreza. Znaš li ti nešto više o tome? Ako ne znaš, kako planiras da popunis poreske obrasce?
