You may have self-employment income from a business, a profession, commission, farming, or fishing.

Business income includes income from any activity you do for profit or with reasonable expectation of profit. A business includes:

  • a profession;
  • a calling;
  • a trade;
  • a manufacture;
  • an undertaking of any kind; and
  • an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

Employment income is not business income.
