Yes, you must report interest income earned during the year on your tax return even if you choose to roll over the interest at the end of each year. You should receive a Form T5, Statement of Investment Income, from your financial institution. If you earn less than $50 in interest in the tax year, you may not receive a tax slip, but you are still required to report the income.
Report investment income you earn from your GIC on Line 12100 – Bank accounts, term deposits, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), and other simi... of your Tax Information and Benefit Return even if you do not receive a T5 tax slip.
