Canada's crypto tax crackdown collects over $100 million but faces enforcement challenges

thestar.com [$]

Canada's tax agency has collected over $100 million from crypto tax evasion in three years. The Canada Revenue Agency's cryptoasset auditors are pursuing over 200 cases, but no criminal charges have been laid since 2020, indicating resource limitations in enforcing tax laws in the anonymous crypto space. Despite significant collections, enforcement challenges persist due to the borderless nature of cryptocurrency, with efforts underway to establish a dedicated financial crimes agency by spring 2026.
