WHO IS THE SUMMIT FOR?

Canadian crypto investors, active traders, DeFi users, stakers, miners, NFT users, CPAs, tax and finance professionals, crypto businesses and compliance teams. Sessions are structured so someone who knows crypto but very little about tax can follow along.

Yes. Free access registration is open. If live capacity becomes genuinely limited, we will say so clearly rather than manufacture urgency.

WHEN AND WHERE IS IT?

Thursday, 19 November 2026, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (255 Front Street West, Toronto). You can attend in person or join the live online broadcast from anywhere in Canada.

No. Everything presented is general educational information about Canadian crypto tax concepts. It does not constitute individual tax, financial or legal advice.

HOW IS CRYPTO TAXED IN CANADA?

Crypto is generally treated as a commodity rather than currency, and outcomes depend on the facts and circumstances of the activity — including whether it is considered on capital account or as business income. Sessions explain the concepts and where the distinctions are drawn.

WHAT IS A CRYPTO DISPOSITION?

A disposition generally refers to an event where you part with a digital asset — such as selling it, trading it for another asset, or using it to pay for something. We cover the concept in plain language.

WHAT IS ADJUSTED COST BASE?

Adjusted cost base is, broadly, the cost of your holdings used as a reference point when calculating gains or losses. Because crypto is often acquired in many small purchases, accurate history matters.

DO YOU COVER CRYPTO-TO-CRYPTO?

Yes — a dedicated session covers crypto-to-crypto activity.

DO YOU COVER STAKING?

Yes, including rewards, timing and valuation questions.

Yes, including equipment, scale and commercial context.

Yes — DeFi has its own advanced session.

Yes. NFTs and other digital assets are covered from a record-keeping perspective.

WHAT RECORDS SHOULD I KEEP?

Generally: date and time, asset, quantity, transaction type, CAD value, wallet or platform, cost information and the underlying transaction record. A dedicated session walks through each field.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAPITAL GAINS AND BUSINESS INCOME?

They are different characterisations of the same activity, with different consequences. There is no single factor that determines the answer — treatment depends on the facts and circumstances.

Yes. There is a dedicated accountant and CPA track.

CAN CRYPTO BUSINESSES ATTEND?

Yes. A full track covers crypto businesses, payments and accounting workflows.

No. Canada Crypto Tax Summit is an independent educational event. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the Canada Revenue Agency or the Government of Canada.

CRYPTO TAX CANADA 2026: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Opening keynote. A plain-language map of how crypto activity is generally considered for Canadian tax purposes in 2026 — dispositions, characterisation, valuation and records — plus the four misunderstandings that create most of the cleanup work later. 40 minutes.
FOUNDATIONSBEGINNERÉLISE MARCHAND
09:45S-03
CAPITAL GAIN OR BUSINESS INCOME?
The Canadian question, examined properly: frequency, holding period, intention, financing, expertise and time spent. Walkthrough of three anonymised fact patterns — a long-term holder, a weekly swing trader and a full-time desk — and how the analysis shifts. 45 minutes.
CLASSIFICATIONINTERMEDIATEÉLISE MARCHAND
10:30S-04
FROM WALLET TO TAX RETURN
A live data walkthrough: exchange CSVs, wallet exports and on-chain history normalised into one transaction ledger, then into the numbers that actually appear on a return. Includes the reconciliation failures that show up most often. 40 minutes.

ADJUSTED COST BASE WITHOUT THE CONFUSION
Cost basis is the number behind every other number. Identical-property pooling, superficial-loss interaction, transfer fees, and what happens to ACB when three years of history sits on a delisted exchange. Worked spreadsheet included. 45 minutes.
ACBINTERMEDIATERAJ MALHOTRA
12:15S-07
CRYPTO-TO-CRYPTO: THE DISPOSITION PEOPLE MISS
Trading ETH for a stablecoin is not the non-event most people assume. Swaps, bridges, wrapping and rebasing tokens — which are generally dispositions, which are documentation questions, and how to value each one in CAD. 30 minutes.
CLASSIFICATIONINTERMEDIATERAJ MALHOTRA
12:45S-08
LUNCH & NETWORKING
One hour. Seated lunch for in-person attendees; online attendees get a recorded ACB clinic in the same slot.

MININGADVANCEDSOFIA REYES
14:25S-10
STAKING, REWARDS & DEFI
Staking rewards, liquid staking tokens, liquidity pools, lending and yield strategies — timing, valuation and the documentation burden. Why DeFi positions need transaction-level evidence rather than an end-of-year balance. 40 minutes.
DEFIADVANCEDARJUN NAIR
15:05S-11
CRYPTO LOSSES & LOST ACCESS
Realised losses, worthless tokens, rug pulls, exchange collapses and lost keys. What evidence tends to support each position, and where the superficial-loss rules complicate an otherwise obvious answer. 35 minutes.
