I have an argument with my dad that I need to sort out. I am pretty sure you can't do this but he insists it's legal. Let's say that you own a house with a spare bedroom. A friend of yours is looking for housing so you tell him he can live for free. But as an informal favor you ask him to pay for common expenses. So he pays the cleaner, the utilities, internet, part of the groceries... And that as an amortized total this ends up being a substantial amount. Say 1000 CAD per month 500 for the cleaner, 300 for utilities plus internet, 200 for misc household items like cooking oil, toilet paper, napkins, detergents, cleaning agents, house repairs... According to my dad in this agreement you don't need to report the benefits as income, since you are not the one paying. Your expenses just got lower. According to me you do have to report that as income because you essentially have a verbal contract and are deriving the economic benefit even if you are not directly paying.
