Excuse me, I am quite confused about the tax policies regarding cryptocurrency in Canada. I understand that capital gains tax is a common tax imposed on profits from the sale of assets, but I am unsure if it applies to cryptocurrency transactions as well. Could you please clarify if there is a 50% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency in Canada? If so, how does it work? Are there any exceptions or special circumstances that I should be aware of? Thank you for your help in clarifying this matter.

The tax rate applicable to capital gains is your marginal tax rate, which is based on your overall taxable income.

This means that if you make a capital gain of $1000, only $500 of it will be taxed.
