in a greenhouse the size of 1000m² you can harvest about 30.000kg fish an 30.000kg vegetables a year. If you have access to local kitchen garbage and other green stuff, you can even nutrify your fish by breeding black soldier fly worms out of the garbage, additionaly you geed the perfect soil using permaculture technics. ]]> Comment on How to Do Your Taxes in Nunavut by Anubha http://findingtruenorth.ca/taxes-in-nunavut/#comment-14874 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 04:17:03 +0000 http://findingtruenorth.ca/?p=5529#comment-14874 Woohoo!

For example, you move to Nunavut in August 2015 and move away from Nunavut in June 2016. For your 2016 income taxes can you claim Nunavut Resident status for the period from Jan to July? ]]> Comment on How to Do Your Taxes in Nunavut by Anactoria http://findingtruenorth.ca/taxes-in-nunavut/#comment-14872 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 02:56:52 +0000 http://findingtruenorth.ca/?p=5529#comment-14872 That’s awesome!

As long as you have lived in Nunavut for six consecutive months by the time you file your return you can claim the deduction for the months that fall in the tax year. In your case, the five months from August to December.

A slightly more complicated instance where the deduction could get overlooked is when one moves to Nunavut in November or later. They will not have met the six month criteria by April and thus cannot claim the deduction at the time of filing. However once May/June rolls around they can file a T1 Adjustment Request and their return will be adjusted to include the deduction.
