How to Report Your Wealthsimple Taxes

What is Wealthsimple?

Wealthsimple is a Canadian investing app that includes a crypto account for buying and selling cryptocurrencies alongside other investments such as stocks and ETFs. Crypto users can trade a range of supported coins, transfer eligible assets to and from external wallets, and stake certain assets to earn rewards. If Wealthsimple is part of your crypto activity, you may need a clear transaction record for tax reporting, and this guide explains how to handle that with Coinpanda.

How to do your Wealthsimple taxes

You can easily report your Wealthsimple taxes by uploading your Wealthsimple transaction history to Coinpanda as a CSV file. Coinpanda automatically imports your transactions, calculates your capital gains and income, and generates ready-to-file tax reports for Wealthsimple.

Does Wealthsimple provide tax documents?

Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Wealthsimple is no exception. It's hard for an exchange to build tax logic that serves customers across many jurisdictions. Hence, it's more practical for a customer to use a tax platform like Coinpanda.

How are Wealthsimple transactions taxed?

The exact tax implications on Wealthsimple transactions depend on which country you live in and the type of transactions you have made. In general, you must pay either capital gains tax or income tax on your cryptocurrency transactions on Wealthsimple.

• Capital gains tax: Whenever you sell a cryptocurrency for more than you purchased it for, you generate a capital gain. On the other hand, if you sell the cryptocurrency for less than you paid initially, you have a capital loss, which can, in most cases, offset other gains.
• Income tax: Earned cryptocurrency on Wealthsimple, such as staking, interest, bonuses, and referral rewards, is typically treated as taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

How to file your Wealthsimple taxes

First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Wealthsimple. When you have this information ready, you can report capital gains and income together with other forms of income, such as employment and dividends, in your annual tax return.

To calculate your capital gains, you must first export a complete history of all transactions made on Wealthsimple. Once you have this data, you can calculate your capital gains or losses by determining the price at which you bought the cryptocurrency (your cost basis) and the price at which you sold it (your proceeds). Luckily, Coinpanda can help you with this and generate ready-to-file tax forms quickly and easily.

After downloading your Wealthsimple tax statements from Coinpanda, the last step is to report the capital gains and income on your tax return before the deadline. Most countries allow you to self-declare taxes online in 2026, but you can also get help from a professional tax accountant to file taxes for you.
