Box 13 – Foreign currency

You should report all amounts in Canadian currency, unless the transaction meets the requirements explained in Foreign currency reporting.

For Canadian funds, leave this area blank.

Enter the applicable three-character alphabetic or numeric currency code using International Standard ISO 4217. If possible, use the alphabetic codes, as follows:

USD – United States, dollar
JPY
– Japan, yen
HKD – Hong Kong, dollar
AUD– Australia, dollar
NZD – New Zealand, dollar
DKK – Denmark, krone
GBP – United Kingdom, pound
EUR – European Union, euro
OTH – Other

When you report amounts in foreign currency, keep the following rules in mind:

  • print the name of the foreign currency on the T5008 slips (for example, U.S. DOLLARS) beside the Identification of securities text above the white box of Box 17 – Identification of securities for the recipient's benefit
  • if you file your T5008 information return on paper and leave box 13 blank, we will process the amounts on the T5008 slips as Canadian dollars
  • when completing the summary, you only have to enter one amount for total proceeds of disposition, whether or not you complete the T5008 slips in different currencies
