  When it comes to capital gains taxes on digital assets in Canada, individuals are required to report and pay taxes on any profits they make from the sale or disposal of these assets. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) treats digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, as a form of property for tax purposes. This means that any gains made from the sale of digital assets are subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate for capital gains depends on the individual's income and tax bracket. It's important for individuals to keep accurate records of their digital asset transactions, including the purchase price, sale price, and dates of acquisition and disposal. Failure to report and pay taxes on digital asset gains can result in penalties and legal consequences. It's always best to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure compliance with the regulations and to maximize any potential tax benefits.
