Question

Does the Canadian Tax Payer pays the Queen of England or other Royals a stipend or in other kind?

Answer 1

No, the Governor General and Lieutenant Generals work in the country as representatives of the Queen. Some of what we pay in taxes pays their salaries and expenses, same as any other public employee. But no money goes to the Queen.

Answer 2

No, but the tax payers support the GG and the LGs.

Answer 3

No, Each tax system is set up so that even though she is Queen of many countries she is not directly paid a salary from any country, even the UK. She maintains and operates her own property and business and gives the money made to the UK goverment ( all of it) in return the goverment provides a small sum for the travel and day to day expenses, but the money the Queen pays to the Goverment including taxes far outsucceds itself, so in essence she is paying herself.

Answer 4

No. Contrary to common misconception, Canadians do not pay any money to the Queen, either for personal income or to support the royal residences outside of Canada. Only when the Queen is in Canada, or acting abroad as Queen of Canada, does she draw from Canadian coffers for support in the performance of her duties. This rule applies equally to other members of the Royal Family. Usually the Queen's Canadian governments pay only for the costs associated with the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors in their exercising of the powers of the Crown on behalf of the Queen, including travel, security, residences, offices, ceremonial occasions, etc.

Provincial and federal records of expenditures associated with the Crown are kept, but no official report on the cost of the monarchy to Canadians is compiled. However, every three years the Monarchist League of Canada issues a survey, based on various federal and provincial government budgets, expenditures and estimates, that outlines a yearly cost for the functioning of the Crown. The 2005 survey found that the institution cost Canadians roughly $49 million in 2004.

Answer 5

No, even though she is "Queen of the Commonwealth" (including Canada), Canadian taxpayers pay nothing towards the day-to-day upkeep, etc., of the Monarchy.  They, the immediate Royals, are funded through the Civil List maintained by UK taxpayers.  I would imagine, tho, that when the Queen makes an "official visit" to a certain City and Province in Canada, then the public duties she carries out on behalf of that City/Province would at least partially be paid for through provincial funding, so I guess in that sense she is in that circumstance supported by the Canadian taxpayer.
