Are personal injury settlements taxable in Canada?

Canadian tax regulations consider payments from personal injury cases for pain and suffering as non-taxable assets. Part of your settlement that serves to replace lost income or future wages becomes susceptible to taxation. 

Your personal injury settlement taxable rules depend on the settlement components so their specific classification determines what gets taxed. You must pay income taxes when interest accrues after your settlement distribution occurs.
