Hi all,

I have read the discussion and I'll be glad if someone can solve a query. I am a student and have come from Asia and my parents would like to support me through bitcoins as the conventional methods cost a lot of money. Will I be taxed if I get money from Asia through bitcoins as I'll not be able to hold them for 1 year. Currently, I do not pay taxes (except few cents I get as Zinsen from my saving account here in Germany). I do have a Steuer ID. I'll be really glad if someone can help me regarding this.

You would need to make sure that your parents send the bitcoins from an address they control, so that they can sign a private message with and they can prove that it really were them who sent the coins. You would need to receive the coins in your own wallet too, then send it to your exchange, turn them to fiat and withdraw to your bank account.

At the end it would be provable that these funds were sent from your parents. You can't be charged for something you received from your parents since it's not something you earned by working for it.

If we in germany get money from someone we know and it is not a reward for a work then it is tax free of course. I'm only not fully sure if the transfer over a border can change anything. The one year holding time is of no matter to you at all at least.

That's only my opinion on the matter though. Maybe someone other has a different opinion.

Thanks for the reply. It appears the same for me. I need another opinion. I have got a bit coin account too in India. Which is more easier to prove my parents bit coin account or my account?

Ask a pro but you're just using it as a remittance service. Western Union isn't taxed in that way so I don't see why this should either. The German one year rule applies to capital gains taxes. As I assume you'll be converting them nearly instantly there won't be any capital gains.

Yup I will. I'll be converting them instantly or almost instantly. Thanks for replying the messages. I think I'll take chances with this. Anyhow the amount they send is not huge. They will be sending me around 1000 euros after every 3-4 months.

So what do you suggest? Shall I continue with this method? Also, I have a personal account linked to a bitcoin account in India as well in my name. Will it be better to use than that one? I have no clue whether I am liable for Einkommensteuer. I have a Steuer ID (Identification no.) and till now I have paid just 4 cents as tax which was deducted from Zinsen of my savings account in Germany.

Thanks, but do I have to show this to authorities or they will figure out by themselves that this is a personal exchange? I am sorry, I am very new to German taxation system.

I am a student and have come from Asia and my parents would like to support me through bitcoins as there are a lot of extra charges put by conventional methods. Will I be taxed if I get money from Asia through bitcoins as I'll not be able to hold them for 1 year.
