Cryptocurrency and Taxes: What You Need to Know


Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that is becoming increasingly popular among investors. However, the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA’s) stance on cryptocurrencies can lead to unexpected tax implications for investors.

Here are some key issues:

  • Taxable Events: Depositing crypto with a trading platform may be considered a taxable event if ownership is transferred to the platform.
  • Tax Consequences: The profit from the sale or transfer of crypto may be taxed as capital gain or business income, depending on whether it’s a capital asset or business inventory.
  • Loss Claims: Losses from crypto fraud may not be claimable if the individual doesn’t own the cryptocurrency according to the contractual relationship with the trading platform.
  • Investor Awareness: Investors should carefully review terms and conditions when depositing crypto, as CRA’s views could significantly impact tax obligations.

It is importance to understand CRA’s perspective on cryptocurrency ownership and taxation to avoid surprises.  If you’re unsure about the tax implications of your cryptocurrency investments, it’s best to consult a tax professional.
