@RealEstateTaxTips
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment. I gotta look up what airdrops is before i can answer your question. In Canada, the rule of thumb of handling taxation on crypto is to based on whether the crypto leaves you (or your wallet or your trading platform) - if it does, it becomes a taxable event. If it doesn't, it's not a taxable event. When you receive the coin, since it isn't leaving you, it isn't a taxable event. When you sell the coin, since it is leaving you, it then becomes a taxable event. Hope it helps.

I think you have done a great job explain the principles on how CRA will evaluate if your gains are business income vs capital gains. The example of purchasing a single lump sum of crypto, holding it for a few years, then selling the limp sum is pretty straightforward and would not be classified as "day trading". But most people I know who invest in anything, not just crypto, use a dollar cost averaging (DCA) approach. I someone purchase $100 every month while DCA'ing, I would hope that one selling transaction of the partial amount would not be seen as "day trading" just because there are several trades (buys, sells) done in a year. Do you have any insight regarding how CRA would treat someone using a DCA approach? Thanks for your contribution to our collective understanding.
@RealEstateTaxTips
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Dollar cost averaging is a great approach when it comes down to averaging in. Now, averaging in to purchase every month is different from averaging in every day or selling everyday. Again, the area is NOT black and white and it is hard to give you an answer without looking at other factors, such as your professional knowledge, what you do for a living, if you trade a lot, etc.

It's an interesting topic. No one really knows who started bitcoin to begin with. Current governments around the world are trying to put some control over crypto transactions. Stock transactions are also considered taxable income as well. Same tax rules apply as well. As a matter of fact, I think current tax law is a bit more relaxed on crypto as compared to publicly traded stock.

However, when we save money for future by skipping one meal and pay tuition fees, stupid government wants to tax our savings as well. No difference between government and robbers/gangsters who bully people and take money they have saved for their future and education.

Hey Cherry! I have been Binging your content. You're amazing! One question on capital losses with crypto: In the US, an individual can sell a crypto to incur a capital loss, and buy it back immediately without it being a superficial loss, because it's considered property. Does this also apply in Canada, or are users required to wait 30 days to negate it being a superficial loss? Thanks!!

(If so, I'm assuming that could only happen if the depreciated asset was sold, and if it remains invested by the end of the year it would not be considered a loss at all, until if it gets sold the following tax year, or any point in the future)..

Hello, thanks for your video . I am Canadian miner. I have a question. If I made 15000$ from mining in 2021, but I spent 10000$ on Gpu and mining equipments. Do I declare those gpu and mining equipments as expense (100%) which means I made 5000$ in 2021. thank you
@RealEstateTaxTips
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
If you mine, remember that the crypto isn't considered income till you sell them. They are recorded as inventory. If you did sell $15,000 worth of crypto, you are eligible to claim a portion of the mining equipment that you purchase, as well as the extra electricity that you incurred on mining against the income. CRA allows you to claim all capital assets (equipment is considered capital asset) based on the capital cost allowance rate. Likely not 100% of the equipment can be claimed in current year. But a portion of it. Hope this helps.

Great question. Capital gain is only 50% taxable, the tax that you would have to pay depends on your marginal tax rate. Business trading is 100% taxable, the tax that you would have to pay again depends on the marginal tax bracket you are in. Can be as high as 53.5% in Ontario. If you don't make any profit you would still report the disposal. If there's a loss, you might be able to claim a loss against future gain.

The rule of thumb is that if the crypto leaves you, it becomes a taxable event. When you used Ether to pay, the market value at that point become you proceeds from disposition. You can deduct what you pay for Ether to offset and calculate the capital gain. The market value of the Ether would then become the cost of your NFT. When you eventually sell your NFT, this market value of Ether becomes your cost to calculate capital gain.

Amazing video thank you! I have a question say I mined around 20 Ethereum last year (2021) but I did not sell anything into Canadian CAD fiat/cash. I still hold it to this day. I am assuming I am not allowed to expense my electrical/hardware costs because I did not sell the Ethereum to cash as I have not incurred a taxable event yet? If I sold the 20 Ethereum this year (2022) lets say for $100,000 ($5000 each for example). I would essentially be paying tax capital gain or income tax 100% on the $100,000? Maybe I would fall under Hobby so then it would be capital gains but either way I am fine with it being under a business for income tax then but because I mined those Ethereum back in 2021, I am not allowed to carry forward or input in expenses is that correct? Is there any taxable events for just mining and hodling it for the next 4-5 years for example? Do I need to file anything for the 20 Ethereum I mined in 2021 to CRA if I am simply hodling it?

I am guessing you're doing mining in this case? Depending on whether you're mining as a hobby or mining as a full time business. In your situation, if you do generate $200 a day, chances are, it can be viewed more as generating income from a business. 100% of the reward is taxable but you may also be able to write off at least a portion of the license of $50K, depending on the terms and conditions of the license agreement. I would however, strongly encourage you to speak to someone who knows your situation better. Good luck!

John, the word "trading" typically refers to buying and selling. For those of us who personally buy and hold as investments we don't have any taxable event until we sell or convert one crypto into another. It is important to understand the difference between "trading" and "investing" and which is the appropriate description for your own activity, as there are tax implications. As an investor waiting holding bitcoin & eth long term I will not being paying any tax on any gains until I eventually have a disposition such as exchanging it for a new yacht in 2036! It's worth noting that any crypto profits I have in my TFSA, using investments in bitcoin & eth ETFs, will never be taxed. In 2036 if I cashed that out to buy the yacht I wouldn't need to pay any tax on the gains I had. I love my TFSA!

Typically you would not. You do need to keep track of your 'cost basis' so eventually when you do have a disposition you can accurately report to CRA what your capital gain was.

So in 2021 I bought a ton of poocoins. So if I buy baby doge or mini doge with bnb that's a taxable event?. I'm using Koinly but a lot of it doesn't make sense. I can see in bsc scan I lost 7k in one project yet it thinks I made 24k. How it gets that number I have no idea.

What are the tax implications of receiving free crypto from games, watching videos, and exchanges?

Receiving crypto as a result of conducting a business is taxable. Receiving crypto as a gift isn't taxable.

What if it takes you 100 transactions to get things settled into the right spots then it's not a business it sits when it gets comfortable so if you have your big chunk sitting and you mess around with 10% or less should be capital gains cuz 90% is sitting but 10% moves almost daily so they can't charge me business on the 90% and if I add some to the 90%. That doesn't mean it's moving as a business that means I'm dollar averaging In

You talked about gain. What about loss? Lol

Capital Losses incurred can be offset against capital gain. If you report profit from crypto as business income, then the losses incurred is business losses and can be applied against other income.

Who is in Canada investing 200,000 maybe you are talking about China? Because in Canada 3% of the population making above 100,000 a year and 200,000 hardly business people making, so you are saying they will spend nothing for living and food. I think you need to brush up your education?

$200,000 is just an example that I'm using for easy reference. Thanks for your comment. Just for your information - I graduated from University of Waterloo with honors in 2006 with a Bachelor of Mathematics/Chartered Accountancy and Master of Accounting from the same school. Last time I checked, University of Waterloo is still one of the top accounting schools in Canada. I was also on the honor roll when I wrote the Chartered Accountancy exam in the same year, which meant that I was top 10 in Ontario and top 60 in Canada that year. I have since worked at small and medium sized accounting firms as well as Deloitte, which I believe is still one of the top 4 accounting firms in the world. My accounting business works with a few hundred investors. Hopefully that's enough education to do a video on how crypto is being taxed. Good luck and all the best.

@@RealEstateTaxTips Your content is great, no need to explain yourself to negative comments. To the commenter: 200k as an example also doesn't mean someone is investing their whole annual salary. They could be saving for a few years and then investing 200k in savings. Don't be so negative, you might learn something.

If I bought some crypto currency last year and left it on the platform account. Did not sell or transfer any of it. Do I need to report the details of what I bought? Or I don't need to do anything until I sell them then that's the time I need to report?

You may not have an immediate tax impact, but there's foreign property reporting obligation if your combined total foreign property is over $100K Canadian. If you are holding your Crypto in a platform outside of Canada, it can be considered as a foreign property and thus fall under the reporting obligation.
