How this tool works
CRA's records page (modified 2025-11-10) lists what to keep for each crypto-asset transaction: the date and time, units and type of asset, the value in Canadian dollars at the time, the nature of the transaction and the other party (which may only be an address), plus the addresses of each wallet you use. Keep records for at least six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to.
This logger has those fields. Entries are saved only in this browser (local storage) so you can come back to them. Download the CSV regularly and keep it with your platform exports.
