Get ready for the 2024 tax season with Newton and Koinly!

At Newton, we believe in making cryptocurrency trading accessible for all Canadians. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Koinly.

‍

Why We Chose Koinly

‍Koinly isn't new to us. Their user-friendly software, backed by expert tax consultants, has been a hit among our community. Koinly seamlessly integrates transactions from various platforms, including Newton, along with wallets and exchanges, so whether you're just starting or you're a seasoned trader, Koinly's got a plan that fits.

‍

Understanding Your Crypto Taxes

‍We understand that calculating your crypto taxes can feel daunting, and the process can be confusing. Here is a brief (and simplified!) process for calculating your 2024 crypto taxes:

1. Identify each taxable transaction and the applicable tax type.
2. Calculate your cost basis and consider the Superficial Loss Rule.
3. Determine the fair market value in CAD of your crypto income on the day of receipt.
4. Work out your capital gains and losses for each transaction.
5. Calculate your net capital gain or loss and total crypto income for the year.

Sounds intense, right? That’s why we continue to partner with Koinly and let them do the heavy lifting!

The Details

‍We received a lot of positive feedback from users who used our Koinly integration in 2023. Here are the benefits that you can expect to see in 2024:

‍

Exclusive Discount for Newton Users

‍All Newton users now qualify for a 20% discount on all Koinly paid plans, should their transactions exceed the 250 mark. This discount is a token of our ongoing collaboration and is automatically applied through the Koinly sign-up link in the Newton app.

‍

Reminder: Transaction Limit for Free Reports

‍The 250-transaction limit for a free report from Koinly isn’t per year but cumulative across all transactions imported via CSV. So, if your CSV file spans multiple years and the total exceeds 250 transactions, you won't qualify for a free report for the current year (even if that year alone has fewer than 250 transactions).
