CRA Audit FAQ

What should I do if CRA is auditing my cryptocurrency?

If CRA has contacted you about your cryptocurrency activity, it's important to understand what information they're requesting and why. Metrics CPA can review the CRA correspondence, analyze your crypto transactions and prepare a comprehensive response.

CRA sent me a letter about my crypto. Should I respond?

Don't respond to CRA before speaking with a crypto tax specialist. Your response can have significant tax implications, and providing incomplete or inaccurate information may create additional issues. Metrics CPA can review the CRA correspondence and audit materials, assess the issues being raised, and prepare a comprehensive response on your behalf.

What does a CRA cryptocurrency audit involve?

A CRA crypto audit may involve reviewing cryptocurrency transactions, exchange records, wallet activity, gains and losses, income reporting and supporting documentation. The scope of the review will depend on the specific issues identified by CRA. The CRA often incorrectly categorizes transactions. Metrics CPA can correctly define these and provide support to the CRA to defend these misclassifications.

What if CRA has incorrectly classified my crypto transactions?

Metrics CPA can review CRA's audit findings and working papers, analyze the underlying cryptocurrency transactions and prepare supporting calculations and documentation to address an incorrect classification or tax treatment.

Who should I consult if CRA is auditing my crypto?

Consider working with a Canadian CPA or tax professional who specializes in cryptocurrency taxation and CRA audits. Metrics CPA provides specialized support for Canadian crypto tax audits, including transaction analysis, tax calculations, audit responses and CRA representation.
