CRA actually taxes.

You’ll walk away knowing (in plain English)

  • Which activities are taxable, and which ones aren’t
  • The everyday crypto moves that quietly trigger tax (even
    when they don’t look like they should)
  • A quick gut-check you can use before your next trade,
    stake, or swap

“I’ve been in crypto for 10 years,

and not a lot of people understand the tax side of crypto. It’s great
to finally find someone who really knows this stuff.”

I created this cheat sheet because I kept meeting
Canadian crypto investors with the same problem:
they didn't know which of their moves were
actually taxable.

They were guessing whether staking rewards
counted as income, whether swaps triggered a
disposal, whether simply holding was always safe.

I'm Charlene Tessier, Canadian crypto tax expert
with 13 years helping Canadian investors get this
right. The pattern never changes: once clients
understand what's taxable and what isn't, they
stop guessing and stop making expensive
mistakes.

That's what this cheat sheet is for. Quick, clear
answers so you can invest without second-
guessing every move.
