As a Canadian, how can I ensure my crypto investments are completely hidden from the tax man?
Cash withdrawal deliveries? But then what is stopping the guberment from contacting my exchange and asking for a record of everyone who bought/traded crypto on there. I would be fucked. Canadian anons... Please advise. I don't want to pay capital gains taxes on my measly returns.

So open my own bank? That doesn't sound feasible. Please advise.

You don’t pay any capital gains it only affects your income tax. Incorporate yourself pay 17% and move on.

An incredible marble statue of rape. This is completely false. A quick Google search will show you the truth.

Where have you been selling your BTC for cash? The only place I've tried so far was instacoin ATM.
Cooper Fisher
We live in Canada you dumb fuck, not burger land.
Alexander Diaz
I will give you cash for your crypto at 9% below market price. This saves you a lot of money compared to taxes

sell via localbitcoin. if you're super paranorman than trade to monero and back from btc. the only info avalaible will be how much fiat you invested initially but no one will know how much cash you end up with
Aaron Morales
Quadriga offers cash at a 2% charge. BUT they verify your identity and address beforehand. So it's not necessarily off the books. You just may be able to avoid the bank putting a red flag on your account with a $10,000+ deposit. So you are likely to still get ducked with taxes.

hide your money, keep it overseas, take out a bit at a time, jews dont live lavish lives, they stack up efficiently every generation, until their great great grand kids live lavish lives.
No Jew is self-made.

try cashing out by buying what you want directly using:
>purse.io for amazon purchases, up to 33% discount too >bylls.com to pay off your credit card, electric, water, internet or phone bill (basically any bill). >silvergoldbull.ca for gold/silver bullion if you're looking for a long term hedge >coincards.ca for any gift card >buy a car from an edmonton dealer directly with bitcoin edmontontruckcredit.com/buy-a-car-with-bitcoin >convince your landlord to accept bitcoin as payment for rent like me
mfw, when I'm paying off all my expenses with crypto and keeping 100% of my pay check from my job

There are various bitcoin ATMs around you could try. They might have cameras around though, I think some models have them built into the unit.
Jason Davis
Is there a standard amount that can come into a bank/credit union account without looking "suspicious" or getting flagged? Like if I withdraw 2-3k from crypto into fiat per month will it raise any eyebrows?
Wyatt Clark
good question mate
Grayson Bailey
you roll the dice mate. doing that leaves a paper trail, you get an audit and they'll ask you where the sourse of this income was and if you paid taxes on it.
Charles Reed

Isaiah Jackson
Why does it matter if theyre are cameras?
You doing illegal shit with your bitcoin?
Jaxon Fisher
10k is the hard limit to report to fintrac. but banks KYC policies mean they will look for suspicious activity and report it.
Nathan Watson
$10, 000 deposit raises eyebrows and statement of income must be provided.
Jaxson Anderson
I read yesterday that in Canada they changed their criteria to get flagged from deposits from 10I down to 3k. Wtf this is retarded. I wanted to buy 20k of crypto and this is a fucking hassle and a half here in leaf land.
Camden Roberts
we live in communism now man, this is fucking cuba tier shit with this castro jr
Lincoln Gomez
Lmao the tax authorities don’t care about a few thousand dollars here and there. They don’t have the resources to go after small time tax cheats.
Adam Nguyen
This is going to land you in jail
The CRA has decided that Bitcoin (alts too) are not money, they are commodities. You don't avoid capital gains when you pay your bills with commodities. tell tyrone hi user.
Lincoln Long
au contraire little faggot they go after the little man and not the big guy
Brayden Williams
Day of the rake soon don't worry leaf
Luke Nelson
Except for avoiding paying taxes. Facial recognition is a real thing these days.
Zachary Clark
Sell it face to face for cash. Never sell to the same person twice. Keep amounts under $10k.
Thomas Long
So basically if someone does get suspicious I just have prove where it came from and then pay the tax? So I might aswell withdraw 2k-ish per month and see how long I can go without anyone caring, and if anyone ever does care the punishment is just to pay the tax I would have had to anyways?
Also, is it possible to somehow open a corporation in British Virgin Islands or some place like that and have it "own" the Bitcoins for me? And just pay myself a minimum wage to pay taxes on while having the corporate account buy things I need?
Brandon Sanders
I really need to know as well.
I didnt risk my neet money on btc to have a portion go to support the healthcare of normies
im thinking we just use tether to get out of volatility - then slowly buy bitcoin and sell for cash locally through localbitcoins
David Morgan
We're talking about methods to avoid tax, but what if one doesn't care about paying taxes? I'm investing in crypto and if I can make a living from that I definitely will.
What are some websites, locations to sell your bitcoins to CAD?
Hunter Gonzalez
This is probably the best advice
Thomas Jones
>if anyone ever does care the punishment is just to pay the tax I would have had to anyways?
if they can prove you evaded tax intentionally you are looking at jail time.
Lincoln Green
The CRA will allow you to submit a Voluntary Disclosure, they make a judgement and they may let you adjust your taxes without levying a fine or criminal charge.
lol the punishments range from fines to tyrone time
Easton Rogers
The exchange I use is QuadrigaCX. And if you don't mind paying tax I guess you would just declare whatever profit you took in fiat that year as capital gains on your T4?
Tyler Carter
then you will meet tyrone
its seriously when not if
the CRA doesnt care that you dont care, they will get their money from you.
Hudson Wright
low hanging fruit. they'll take whatever case is available. also, its a lot easier to go after small fries because the big boys will lawyer up and end up costing CRA not only time and resources but lawyer fee's to fight complicated cases over years.
off shore banking is possible but for small money? the cost of getting a CPA or lawyer to do that shit isn't even worth it.
if the CRA thinks you made a honest mistake, you pay taxes and intrest on owing. if they think you purposely misled them, that's tax evasion.
Jace Long
Would quadriga report your info to the cra if they requested it? I think they would
Henry King
Isn't it pretty easy to open a corporation in places like BVI for small fees? I thought everyone was doing that back during the affiliate marketing craze days. Basically my idea was to have an offshore corp in a place with no corporate taxes own my Bitcoin and cash it out, and then pay myself minimum wage as an employee in Canada so I'm paying some super-minimal taxes.
Has anyone done this, for crypto or affiliate marketing or anything with online income?
I'm sure they would.
Hudson Johnson
the biggest problem with crypto taxes is that each trade is looked at as if you sold the currency you held and used the profits to buy the currency you purchased
So for example if you're trading 10 BTC for equal value in ETH, the government looks at that as if you sold 10 BTC for market price (so say $70,000 USD today) and bought $70,000 USD worth of ETH. It doesn't matter if you cash it out into fiat or not, they view it as you having sold for $70k. Now if you're on an exchange that won't cooperate/reveal that information to your government, they have no way of knowing, but if you made that trade on say Quadriga, the government 100% will know about it.
For that reason I think there's upside to doing the majority of your trading on a foreign exchange that may not cooperate with your own government - Chinese exchanges specifically, or Russian if there is any? But they carry separate risks of course.
Regardless whatever you decide to cash out through Quadriga could be reported to the CRA, and likely will be especially if it's a substantial amount.
Matthew Diaz
dunno, i never thought of doing off shore sheltering. but i believe that if you have any serious amount of money it requires a lawyer to abuse the client-solicitor privilege.
Jordan Morgan
I agree. (Although this post is for burgers, it's probably the same for leafs) The "you only pay taxes when you cash out" thing is a total meme. The only way to get capital gains tax deferred after a property trade is to get it cleared as a like-kind exchange. There's CPA's saying that like-kind exchanges are inappropriate for crypto:
I'm just wondering what the chances are of the IRS ever getting their hands on Bittrex and Poloniex trade records.
Joshua Moore
you can probably create an offshore bank account and withdraw to it?
Ian Gonzalez
Just never cash out of crypto. Done.

This, just keep reinvesting everything into building your evil crypto empire without spending anything on your private life. At least until you can afford a space station outside the tax man's jurisdiction.
Brayden Johnson
why not trying to withdraw and seeing if they say something? they probably don't even know about bitcoin, they're Canadians after all
Camden Gutierrez

Charles Lopez
there is a crypto company looking to bridge this tax gap so your dont have to pay.
Im from leaf land(similar to IRA or ROTH is in burgerland), they have a "tax free" account from which you can deposit, earn gains tax free, and withdraw tax free. Why can't these alts be eligible for this if they are applying similar rules as they do to securities, bonds etc?
Once a big time tax evader or attempting to evade, hits the news, the above argument will come up.

This does not work and really isn't worth the risk unless you are rich enough to already have the connections to ensure you don't go to jail.
If you create a corporation in a tax haven and pay yourself from said corporation the CRA will try to determine if you are the owner of said corporation. Regardless of the corporation's location, if you are a Canadian resident and the sole owner of the corporation, the CRA will declare that the corporation's "effective place of management" is in Canada and you will be taxed as a Canadian corporation.
There's something called a nominee director that allows you to anonymously manage the off-shore company. This is probably considered tax evasion by the CRA if you get caught which is likely since you still need a strategy to be able to spend the money.
So as you can see it's really not feasible or sensible to try to avoid or evade paying taxes unless you are rich/connected enough to confidently risk jail time. That's probably not the case if you are asking for advice on Veeky Forums.
Ps: if you aren't a wagie and make the majority of your income as a day trader the CRA might not even allow you the 50% reduction on capital gains.
>Canada will welcome nearly one million immigrants over the next three years, according to the multi-year strategy tabled by the Liberal government today in what it calls "the most ambitious immigration levels in recent history."
Yeah no thanks
Austin James
that's only the permanent immigrants, about ~300k+ per year
They also allow 750k+ per year in on 10-year work visas, except they never leave after the 10 years anyway.
By 2050 the government wants 100M+ people in Canada. Think about that.
