If I earned some (not all) income from affiliate links (commission earnings through web links via email), did I earn from web pages? Do I tick this box?

For the question: “My self-employment work or business earns income from websites and/or web pages”

I earn some income (not all) through affiliate links when I refer hosting service to clients. I send the link (usually in an email, but it is posted on my website too), they click on it, and i get a commission.

Also, I earned USD, but paid in CAD (no tax charged to the payer, based in the US) - does this affect how I enter it? Or just enter the CAD amount?

Do I tick this box? I ticked it for now. I didn’t enter the percentage I earn from this, because I don’t know it...still not sure what the net income is, because this is so confusing!

If your business earns partial income from web pages, leave the box checked.

Amounts should be entered in CAD.
