Box 13 – Foreign currency

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

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

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; and
• 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.
