I am considering investing in cryptocurrencies and am interested in understanding the tax implications in Canada. Could you please clarify if trading cryptocurrencies is tax-free in Canada? If not, how are crypto transactions taxed, and are there any specific rules or regulations I should be aware of? Also, are there any deductions or exemptions available for crypto investors in Canada? Thank you for your time and assistance.

If you sell an investment or asset for a higher price than you purchased it for, you'll realize a capital gain.

This capital gain is taxed at 50% of its value, meaning you'll need to include half of the gain in your taxable income.
