Tax Reporting

**Individuals:** Capital gains on the sale of movable assets (which would likely include cryptocurrencies for investment purposes) are generally subject to a specific tax rate. Historically, this rate has been around **15%**. However, the exact rate can vary based on the specific type of asset and any recent amendments to the CGI.. **Taxable Event:** The sale, exchange, or conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat currency (or another cryptocurrency if it results in a realized gain) would likely trigger a taxable event.. **Cost Basis:** The original purchase price of the cryptocurrency, including any associated fees, would form the cost basis for calculating the gain.. **Businesses:** If a company holds cryptocurrencies as part of its assets and realizes a gain upon sale, this gain would be integrated into its taxable profit and subject to the **corporate income tax (Impôt sur les Sociétés - IS)** rate, which is currently **30%** (though specific sectors might have different rates).. **Mining:** Income derived from cryptocurrency mining (e.g., block rewards) would likely be considered **income from an industrial or commercial activity (Bénéfices Industriels et Commerciaux - BIC)**.
