How do I report income earned from an online business such as Google adSense?

Question:

I recently moved to Canada but I have web hosting that was created outside of Canada that is generating Google adSense earnings for me. How do I report this income on my Canadian tax return?

Answer:

You would report it as 'business income' on your Canadian income tax return. As you are reporting the business income you are also allowed to deduct the business expenses incurred to generate that income.
