Anytime you invest your money into something that increases in value, such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or real estate, that increase is considered a capital gain.
Your capital gains will only be realized and taxable when you cash in your investment. Only 50% of your realized capital gains are taxed at a marginal rate based on your province of residence.
In Quebec, your capital gains are taxed according to the combined marginal capital gains tax rates below:
| 2023 taxable income | QC marginal capital gains tax rate |
|---|---|
| first $49,275 | 13.76% |
| over $49,275 up to $53,359 | 15.76% |
