The short answer

Holding crypto inside a company changes the accounting before it changes the tax: the measurement basis in the financial statements drives the starting point for the tax computation. Corporate holdings raise questions of inventory versus capital property, foreign-property reporting where the custodian is abroad, and how gains are eventually distributed to shareholders.

Whether this is your situation

  • A departure or arrival happened with positions open
  • You hold crypto with a platform outside your country
  • You have moved country while holding crypto
  • Activity has grown from occasional to frequent
  • You have staking, yield or NFT income you have not characterised

That list is deliberately concrete. If you recognise yourself in it, this page is the right starting point; if you do not, tell us and we will point you elsewhere without charging for it.

Fixed fees for crypto for corporations, agreed up front

Crypto inside a company is priced from the volume of transactions the accounting has to absorb and whether the measurement basis, inventory or capital property, has already been decided or has to be settled first. A treasury holding left untouched is lighter work than an active trading account.

How the rule actually works

Holding crypto inside a company changes the accounting before it changes the tax: the measurement basis in the financial statements drives the starting point for the tax computation.

Corporate holdings raise questions of inventory versus capital property, foreign-property reporting where the custodian is abroad, and how gains are eventually distributed to shareholders. Treasury policy and tax treatment need to be decided together.

The consequence is that crypto for corporations is rarely won or lost on the return itself. It is decided by whether the right document existed at the right moment, and by whether the two countries were dealt with in the order that makes the relief usable rather than merely claimable.

The standard here is simple: no figure without a source for your year. Anything that cannot meet it is written as a mechanism, so you can see exactly what the rule does even where the number has to be confirmed before filing. See also paying dividends to a foreign parent and returning to India after years abroad.

What we actually file

  • Departure-day valuations where residency changed
  • The return positions on characterisation, documented at the time
  • A reconstructed and reconciled transaction history
  • Income computations for staking, yield and airdrop receipts
  • Loss claims supported by contemporaneous evidence of the event

Worked through with figures

Here is the rule doing its work on an actual set of amounts.

A deemed disposition on the day residency ends

A portfolio bought for C$319,000 is worth C$647,570 on the departure day. Nothing is sold. Assume half the gain enters income and assume a 48% marginal rate on it.

A deemed disposition on the day residency ends
ItemAmount
Cost of the propertyC$319,000
Value on the departure dayC$647,570
Accrued gain treated as realisedC$328,570
Amount assumed to enter incomeC$164,285
Tax at an assumed 48%C$78,857

C$78,857 becomes payable in a year with no sale and no cash. That is what makes the departure date a planning variable: losses realised before it, an election to defer payment against security, and defensible valuations for anything private all change this number. The shape of that result holds; the size of it depends entirely on your own numbers and dates.

Illustrative figures, not a client engagement: the amounts are chosen to make the mechanism legible, and the rates and thresholds are assumptions stated for the example only. We confirm every one of them against the issuing authority for your own tax year before anything is filed.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1We start with the chronology: dates, countries, and what has already been filed
  2. 2You get the scope and the fee in writing before we touch anything
  3. 3The work is prepared and reviewed by a named person, not a queue
  4. 4Nothing is filed until you have read it

What it costs

The fee is fixed and agreed in writing before work begins, based on the scope established on the first call. Nothing is billed by the hour, and the number does not move once it is agreed. Comparable engagements and their fixed fees are set out on the pricing pages.

  • Documents move through one secure portal, and you can meet us in person at any of our offices.
  • Documents move through an access-controlled portal rather than email.
  • Nothing is filed until you have read it.

Where to go from here

We will tell you if you do not need us. That happens more often than you would expect. The fastest start is a short call and three things: what happened, when it happened, and which countries are involved. Everything else we can ask for as it comes up.

Reviewed for accuracy for the 2025 and 2026 filing seasons by Udit Gupta, Cross-Border Tax Expert, Legal Quotient Consultants. This is general information rather than advice about your file — a short call is the way to get the second.

    The finished return comes to you first. Nothing is submitted on your behalf unseen.

The US information return for reportable transactions between a US corporation, or a foreign-owned US disregarded entity, and its related foreign parties.
Unified credit
The mechanism by which a US estate and gift tax exemption is applied. The amount available to a non-resident is far smaller than to a US person unless a treaty adjusts it.
Transfer pricing
The pricing of transactions between related parties across borders, tested against what independent parties dealing at arm's length would have agreed.
Withholding agent
The person required to withhold and remit. The agent is liable for tax it failed to withhold, which is why the obligation belongs to the payer, not the recipient.
crypto for corporations: The practitioner's note

Corporate holdings raise questions of inventory versus capital property, foreign-property reporting where the custodian is abroad, and how gains are eventually distributed to shareholders.

None of what follows shifts the terms. Scope and fee are settled in writing before anything is prepared, the result carries a named reviewer, and nothing is filed unseen.

The published fees closest to crypto for corporations

The rest of the fee covers what sits either side of the computation: foreign-property reporting where the corporation's custodian is abroad, and modelling how a gain eventually reaches the shareholders. Corporations holding crypto across more than one country add a filing per jurisdiction, and the written quote says which.

The difference a dedicated cross-border team makes

Every figure on a page is traceable

Where a rate or a threshold appears in our writing it names the tax year it belongs to. Where it could not be confirmed, the page describes the mechanism and quotes no number.

One team, not two firms billing separately

You are not the go-between for two sets of advisers with two sets of assumptions. One engagement covers each country the file touches.

Late and missed years are ordinary work

An unfiled history is not a reason to wait longer. We assess what is still open and what relief the delay attracts before the first return goes in.

The quote comes from your documents

Nothing is priced from a phone call. We read what you have first, then the fee is set — so the scope and the number are agreed on the same evidence.

Case study 1

Fifteen Per Cent Held Back From a Fee for Services in Canada

A payer must withhold from fees paid to a non-resident for services rendered in Canada, whether or not any tax is ultimately owed. A waiver applied for before the work is invoiced avoids the withholding; after it, the money comes back through a return.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

Paying a Dividend Up to a Foreign Parent

The withholding rate depends on the treaty, on the size of the holding, and on whether the parent is the beneficial owner rather than a conduit. Establishing all three before the payment is what secures the lower rate at source.

Case study 3

Two Wills, Two Jurisdictions, One Estate

A will drawn for one country can revoke another or fail to reach assets held abroad. The review checks how each instrument interacts with the other and where probate will actually be required.

Branch or Subsidiary, Decided Before Incorporation

A Shareholder Loan Across a Border at No Interest

A Distribution From a Trust Set Up Abroad

A distribution can be capital in the trust's country and income here, and the reporting attaches to the beneficiary rather than the trustee. The work is characterising the payment before it is received where possible.

Ten Years of Missed Returns Filed as One Engagement

Core International & Cross-Border Tax Services

International Tax Planning & Advisory

Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.

One coordinating team: filings on every side of the border are sequenced so treaty relief and foreign tax credits are claimed once — and in the right country.

U.S. & Cross-Border Tax Returns

Dual filers: U.S. citizens in Canada and Canadians with U.S. income run two parallel systems — we prepare both, in the right order, every year.

Expat & Emigration Tax

The move year is its own project: the elections and valuations filed that year decide the next decade of both countries’ returns.

Non-Resident Canadian Tax

Default withholding is 25% of gross: elective returns routinely turn over-withheld rent and pensions into refunds.

Transfer Pricing & BEPS

Documentation prepared with the return is the cheapest insurance in international tax; reconstructing it during an audit is the most expensive.

Cross-Border Estates & Trusts

Wills drafted for one country routinely misfire in the other — deemed disposition here, estate tax there, credits in between.

Cross-Border Corporate Tax

Expansion raises the same four questions every time — entity, PE, repatriation, payroll. We answer them before the tax authorities do.

India Tax for NRIs & Returning Residents

The deduction is taken on the sale price, not the gain — which is why an NRI property sale strands cash unless the certificate is applied for before closing.

Canadian Tax with a Foreign Element

Residency is decided on facts, not on a form — and the year you arrive or leave is the one where the largest amounts turn on the smallest details.

UAE Tax for Expats & Their Home Country

A zero-tax country is only half the answer — the question that decides the bill is whether the country you came from still treats you as resident.

Investment Funds & Holding Companies

Holding structures live or die on treaty access, beneficial ownership and substance — the MLI's principal-purpose test now sits over every arrangement.

A holding structure is only as good as its reporting. Foreign affiliates, accrued passive income and distributions each carry their own return, and the penalties on those attach to the form rather than to any tax being owed — so a structure that saves tax can still cost money if the information returns are late.

Crypto for corporations — questions we are asked

Crypto for corporations — how much of this can I do myself?

Some of it, yes — and we will say so on the call if that is the honest answer. The parts that are worth paying for are the ones where a missed election, a missed deadline or an unverified threshold costs more than the fee: corporate holdings raise questions of inventory versus capital property, foreign-property reporting where the custodian is abroad, and how gains are eventually distributed to shareholders.

What if I have already filed and got it wrong?

That is a common starting point. We re-derive the position, identify whether an amendment or a disclosure route is the right vehicle, and tell you which one preserves the relief that is still available. The order matters more than the speed.

How long will it take?

It depends on the documents rather than on us. Once the pack is complete most filings turn around inside a fortnight; anything that needs a certificate from a tax authority runs on that authority's timetable, which we tell you at the start rather than at the end.

What is FAPI, and how does it differ from GILTI?

Canada's foreign accrual property income taxes a Canadian shareholder currently on the passive income of a controlled foreign affiliate — interest, rent, royalties, certain gains — with a deduction that recognises foreign tax already paid on it. GILTI comes at the problem from the opposite side: it targets active income above a return on tangible assets. A group with both a Canadian and a US shareholder can therefore be inside both regimes on different slices of the same profit. See GILTI against FAPI.

What is a foreign trust for US tax purposes?

A trust that is not a domestic trust — broadly, one that fails the tests looking at whether a US court can exercise primary supervision and whether US persons control the substantial decisions. The classification decides everything downstream: whether the settlor is taxed on the income as owner, how distributions to US beneficiaries are taxed, and which annual information returns are due. Many ordinary foreign arrangements, including some pension and education savings vehicles, land inside the definition. See Form 3520-A.

How is a US LLC taxed for a Canadian owner?

This is the classic hybrid mismatch. The United States generally treats a single-member LLC as transparent and taxes the member on the profit as it arises. Canada treats the LLC as a corporation and taxes the member on distributions. So the two countries tax different amounts in different years, and the foreign tax credit — which needs the same income taxed by both in the same year — often cannot bridge it. The treaty relief for hybrids is narrow. See why a Canadian should rarely own an LLC.

Can a large engagement be split into stages?

For multi-year engagements, yes, agreed alongside the scope: each stage gets its own written number, and nothing outside the agreed stages is done without a new quote.

Why do you not publish more numbers on the site?

Because thresholds and rates move, and a stale figure on a page is the one that gets copied into a filing. Where we can verify a figure for the year we publish it with its source; where we cannot, we explain the mechanism instead.
