Aphria Inc. APHA

Good question

[koolman]

Will the CRA consider the shares disposed upon merger thereby triggering a sell from a tax position? I have run into this situation before and was slammed with tax problems??
any insight please?

  At merger time, there will be a disposition of APHA shares.  That will happen whether you sell the shares or have them converted to Tilray shares. So plan for the tax implications that will have to be settled spring of 2022.

I have run into this situation where shares were rolled over into another company, also specically cannabis firms going back years, Bedrocan into Tweed, MPX into Ianthus, etc and not a single time was a Tax triggered or required to be paid

What happens if I hold my Aphria Shares in an RESP, TFSA or RRSP account? For Canadian resident shareholders that hold Aphria Shares in an RESP, TFSA, RRSP or other registered account, no immediate Canadian tax will arise as a result of the arrangement, whether or not any gain is realized on the disposition of Aphria Shares. Further, Tilray Shares will remain qualified investments for an RESP,
