  • Investors pay their combined Federal and Provincial Income Tax rate on capital gains or business income.

  • All Canadian taxpayers can claim the Basic Personal Amount (BPA) before paying any tax ($16,452 in 2026)

  • Federal tax rates for 2026 range from 14% (on income up to $58,523) to 33% (on income over $258,482), with provincial rates varying by region.

Canada Crypto Tax Rates 2026

When it comes to Income Tax, there are 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 that 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 uses your personal Income Tax rates for capital gains instead.

However, the amount of tax you pay depends on how your investments are viewed by the CRA, and whether the CRA deems 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 $16,129 for 2025 and $16,452 for 2026.

Anyone who is employed and is liable to pay both Federal and Provincial taxes can claim the BPA and pay no tax on these earnings.

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

Canada Provincial Tax Brackets 2025 - 2026

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.
