Canada Crypto Tax Rates 2023

When it comes to Income Tax, there's two Canadian tax brackets you need to know about - your federal tax rate and your provincial tax rate. The federal tax rate is a marginal personal tax rate all Canadian taxpayers pay, while you'll also need to pay your provincial tax rate, which varies depending on where you live.

Canada Capital Gains Tax Rate

Wondering what tax rate you'll pay on investments like crypto, stocks and other property? Well, unlike many countries - Canada doesn't have a dedicated Capital Gains Tax rate. Instead the CRA use your personal Income Tax rates for capital gains instead.

However, the amount of tax you pay all depends on how your investments are viewed by the CRA, and whether the CRA deem you to have capital gains or business income.

If your investment profits are viewed as capital gains, you'll only pay your Federal & Provincial Income Tax rate on half of any gains.

If it’s seen as business income, you’ll be taxed on 100% of your profits at the same Federal and Provincial Tax Rate you are on other income.

Canada Income Tax Allowance

All Canadian taxpayers get a personal tax allowance, also known as the basic personal amount (BPA). This is a non-refundable tax credit of $14,398 for 2022. This will rise to $15,000 in 2023.

Anyone who is employed and is liable to pay both Federal and Provincial Tax can claim the BPA and pay no tax on $14,398 of their earnings.

Now you know how you'll be taxed - let's take a look at how much you'll pay.

Canada Federal Tax Rates 2022

The CRA tax brackets (also known as tax slabs) for federal taxes in 2022 are:

Canada Provincial Tax Brackets 2022

The Provincial Income Tax Rates follow the same structure as the Federal Tax Rate. Canada uses a gradual income tax system, so you won’t pay the same rate on all your taxable income. Instead, you’ll pay a different percentage on each ‘chunk’ of your earnings, as you move up the personal tax rate bands.

For crypto investors...

If you're a crypto investor in Ontario, Canada, there's a couple of other things you may want to know for your taxes. Ontario-based users are now subject to an annual “net buy limit” of CAD $30,000 on all crypto coins. However, this excludes 4 tokens:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • Ether (ETH)
  • Litecoin (LTC)

While retail Investors are subject to the CAD $30,000 buy limit, “Eligible Investors” have an increased limit of CAD $100,000 and no purchase limit exists for Accredited Investors.
