What is the adjusted cost base (ACB)?
The average cost of the units you hold, including purchase fees. When you sell, the cost of the units sold is the ACB per unit times the units sold.
How much of a capital gain is taxed?
Half of it (the 50% inclusion rate) is added to your income. Rules on superficial losses, business income and your own situation can change this - check with an accountant.
Does it work for crypto?
Yes. The CRA treats most crypto disposals like property, so the same ACB method applies.
