Colin Romano at The Canadian Tax Foundation’s 77th Annual Tax Conference
Details
Goodmans Associate Colin Romano will be speaking at The Canadian Tax Foundation’s 77th Annual Tax Conference for the panel, “Current Transactions involving Cryptocurrency” on December 1, 2025 in Calgary, Alberta.
The Crypto ecosystem moves quickly and, by the same token, the taxation and regulation of crypto transactions continue to evolve as foreign and domestic regulators try to keep up with innovation in the blockchain industry.
To keep Canadian tax practitioners up to date, this panel will explore the current state of crypto taxation by explaining the basics of established and novel crypto transactions, highlighting recent CRA guidance and other regulatory developments and addressing the grey areas that tax professionals and investors alike are grappling with, including:
- The sale and exchange of cryptocurrency;
- Cryptocurrency loans; and
- Cryptocurrency staking and liquidity pooling transactions, and the issuance of cryptocurrency under simple agreement for future tokens (SAFTs).
