  As a general rule, cryptocurrency earnings in Canada are subject to taxation. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) treats cryptocurrencies as commodities, and any gains from trading or selling cryptocurrencies are considered taxable income. The tax rate depends on your income bracket. If you are a frequent trader, you may be considered a day trader, and your earnings may be subject to business income tax instead of capital gains tax. It is important to keep track of your cryptocurrency transactions and report them accurately on your tax return.
