Learning Objectives

  • To analyze the income tax and indirect tax consequences of transacting in cryptocurrencies, creating and selling NFTS, and cryptocurrency mining.
  • To discuss the application of the legislation which applies to cryptocurrency and Web 3.0 assets.
  • To explain the CRA's administrative policy toward Web 3.0.
  • To determine your potential income tax, and indirect tax compliance requirements for Web 3.0 assets and how BDO can help.

Course Overview

We live in a digital age—information is transferred and transactions are completed at a speed never thought possible. We have seen some amazing innovations in the last decade. One is the creation of digital currency, or cryptocurrency, the best-known of which is Bitcoin. While it sometimes seems that tax authorities play catch-up to technology’s latest advances, not much escapes the scrutiny of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Cryptocurrencies have moved into the mainstream. In the digital economy, people are increasingly transacting with and trading cryptocurrency and actually “mining” it. This ever-growing frequency of cryptocurrency transactions and the consistent volatility in its value have left many people who have traded, earned, or transacted using it wondering how to treat it for tax purposes.

On the other hand, Web 3.0 is the new and improved next generation of the internet. It will use AI and machine learning to take the internet to a whole new level, generating more powerful and evolutionary applications and making greater use of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and other crypto assets as well as NFTs. Governments and businesses are already working to apply or adapt tax concepts to these new concepts.

Key Topics covered in this webinar:

  • Overview of cryptocurrency
  • Tax treatment of cryptocurrencies
  • Initial Coin Offerings (ICO)
  • Foreign reporting considerations
  • GST/HST rules for cryptocurrencies
  • Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

This CPD webinar will explore the Canadian government's current efforts to create a taxation framework around cryptocurrency and Web 3.0. We will also explore the new compliance and reporting obligations this new framework is expected to create for individuals and businesses.
