Best Answer

If your shares were lent to a short seller, any payments in lieu of dividends you received are taxable. And what is even worse is that they are not qualified dividends for purposes of the reduced tax rate on dividends.

If you are the borrower, any payments you made to the lender are an itemized deduction if you held the short position for 46 or more days. They are an addition to your basis if you held it for 45 days or less.

Canada short term disability is it taxable income?

If you are referring to Short-Term Disability Insurance, it is taxable if your employer made the contribution, and not taxable if you made the contribution. This is because it is treated as a taxable benefit from employment that you have not been taxed on already. Please let me know if you are referring to something else.
