How are you planning to minimize crypto taxes in Canada once you cash out?

Will you move to a country that offers lower crypto taxes or are there decent strategies in Canada?

>> No.20534041

>>20533827
I've heard Cayman Islands has no taxes. I'd look into how long I'd have to live there to be tax free.
It might be too late at that point though, maybe the better strategy is to make a corporation there now and do all your crypto buying through it.
Not really sure though and don't know where I can know more, I imagine people born into a rich family would have this kind of shit figured out so this is another way people trying to climb out of wagecuck life continue to get screwed.

You don't track or provide crypto to crypto transactions at all to your accountant or your accountant doesn't do that and or care to?

Kek the amount of misinformation in this thread, its obvious most of you got your taxes knowledge from a quick google search. The only way to not pay taxes on your crypto is if you planned BEFORE making gains. Once your crypto have gained value it's too late for any legal strategy. if you move out of canada all of your gains are realized and you pay taxes on it. If you create a shell companie and move your crypto in it you will also be taxed.

how much money are we talking about, roughly? canadian capital gains tax is not bad. you are taxed on half of your income. so if your tax rate is 20%, you only pay that 20% on half the gains.

So if you cash out for $1 million..
$780k will be taxed at 26.75% = $208,650
$5,632 will be taxed at 24.9% = $1,402
$56,620 will be taxed at 23% = $13,028
$7,275 will be taxed at 21.96% = $1,597
$34,129 will be taxed at 20.35% = $6,945
$19,275 will be taxed at 19.15% = $3,691
$1,257 will be taxed at 16.40% = $206
$12,361 will be taxed at 15.50% = $1,916
$34,916 will be taxed at 14.10% = $4,923
$6,810 will be taxed at 11.35% = $772

Right the transaction itself is probably a profit loss, but assuming you bought 10k worth of bitcoin originally, and it's now worth $1million worth of bitcoin that you're trying to reduce taxes with, the moment you trade $1million btc for 1million monero, that's a taxable event, which means you should be taxed for that 990k capital gain after making that trade, even though you didn't touch fiat.

god i fucking wish it where that easy, from what i read it depends on your trade frequency and how long you held the token for; with that they determine if the income is under business tax or capital gains tax. Crypto to crypto is a fucking shit storm because they consider each trade as a 'disposal' of that currency so you have to pay sales tax I beleive, now imagine paying 13 percent twice for the standard uniswa txn of eth -> weth -> final token. there is no way to make money unless you use the boomer school of economic thought and hold until you get dementia and die.

What >>20541705 said.
Every dollar of income you earn above $120k something (I don't have the exact numbers so just follow along) is taxed at nearly 50%. Dollars you earn below that amount are taxed according to various lower tax brackets.

If you were earning $500k of regular income, you would be paying (effective tax rate * 120k + 50% * (500k - 120k)). Probably in the ballpark of 225k.

Since these are capital gains, 50% of that.

This is what I read too, there is no clear guidance and it depends on several factors, I also heard that if you dont have any other income they may even tax as your source of income instead of just capital gains.

Just sell as much as you need. while you stake/keep the rest in cryptos. If you wana take our a large amount then you need to either move out or quit your job to be in a smaller tax bracket and try to use as many tax breaks as you can to lower the amount you pay.

moving 220k as income to your bank would mean 110k is taxed at 26.75%, as far as I understand.

Is it possible to only take out a portion of crypto and pay tax on that? Way too much missing data to report all crypto to crypto trades but cashing out everything at once would be stupid. No problem assuming zero cost basis if the final tax rate is reasonable

Just pay 35% and call it a day.
