How are Coinsquare transactions taxed?

In Canada, you'll pay Income Tax on your Coinsquare transactions, though the amount of tax you'll pay will depend on how you're viewed as an investor and your specific transaction. In general, selling, trading, spending and gifting crypto will be considered a capital gain, while earning new coins or tokens will be considered income. Though these rules change if you're seen to be earning business income - so if you're trading at scale, regularly and with the intention to make a profit.

  • For any income, you'll pay Income Tax at your full Federal and Provincial Income Tax rate.
  • For any capital gains, you'll pay Income Tax on half of any gain.
