It's important to keep track of your transactions and report them accurately on your tax return.

  The CCRA considers cryptocurrencies as property for tax purposes. This means that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions are treated similarly to gains or losses from the sale of other types of property. The tax rate applied to these gains or losses depends on your income tax bracket. It's crucial to maintain detailed records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the date, purchase price, sale price, and any associated fees, to accurately calculate your tax liability.
