Canada hunts $40M in unpaid crypto taxes as Trudeau seeks 66% capital gains hike
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proposed a hike in capital gains tax of up to 66% earlier in 2024 to alleviate the financial pressure the housing market is putting on Canada’s citizens. This hike would include capital gains on stock trades and cryptocurrency sales, with an aim to bring in as much tax revenue as possible. However, citizens and companies alike are protesting the increase, and they are facing backlash. Even gains that weren’t previously taxed, such as approximately CAD 54 million ($39 million) in crypto currency taxes , might be targeted under the proposed hike.
