Cryptocurrency exchanges around the world are starting to report more and more information to government agencies. In this guide, we analyze Uphold’s tax reporting policies within Canada. We’ll also break down a simple way to report your Uphold taxes in minutes.

Does Uphold report to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)

In Canada, major exchanges like Uphold are required to register with FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada). FINTRAC specifically is tasked with preventing tax fraud and money laundering — so it’s likely that your information is shared with the CRA. 

Do I have to pay taxes on my Uphold transactions?

Yes. In Canada, your transactions on Uphold and other platforms are subject to income and capital gains tax. 

If you’ve earned or disposed of (ex. Sold or traded away cryptocurrency) during the year, you’ll have a tax liability to report to the CRA.

Is Uphold legal in Canada?

Yes. Uphold legally operates in Canada.
