What are my responsibilities as a cryptocurrency trader?
- Filing statement of business or professional activities with personal tax return
- Reporting capital gains and losses upon sale of currency
- Remittance of estimated tax installments
Are crypto gains or losses taxed as business income (100% taxable) or capital gains (50% taxable)?
This distinction can have a significant impact on your tax expense and is dependent upon several factors including whether or not the cryptocurrency was purchased with the intention of selling it at a profit. Ensure you consult with a CPA before reporting cryptocurrency income to CRA as the tax consequences of making a mistake may be costly.
