As a Canadian investor interested in cryptocurrencies, I'm curious about the tax implications of my holdings. Could you please clarify if I'm required to pay taxes on my crypto transactions in Canada? Specifically, I'm wondering if buying, selling, or trading digital currencies is subject to taxation, and if so, what are the general guidelines I should follow to ensure compliance? Additionally, are there any exemptions or special considerations for crypto investors in Canada that I should be aware of? Clarifying these points would help me understand my tax obligations and plan my investments accordingly.
