Canada residents trading american stocks tax rates any tips?

All transactions (buys, sells, dividends etc) need to be converted to Canadian dollars for tax purposes. You can use monthly or yearly average rates. See Bank of Canada for rates.

Track the cost of each stock using average cost method. Gains are recognized only when the stocks are sold.

You can elect to treat your stock trading activities as capital gains rather than business income. Capital gains are taxed at half the normal rate. On the other hand, capital losses can only be applied against capital gains. Source(s): http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/en/rate...
