I made a sell of 14.6 Bitcoin at btc-plaza.com with the Bank transfer option. I received the funds in my bank account (in euros) and when i checked there were 22% taken away after the first transaction. I asked the bank for a report and they informed me that the government took 22% of the whole transaction as tax money! wth? what should i do to regain this money? how can they take tax so fast and without informing me??"""

The one place they can hit you is when it touches the fiat currency. Maybe sell it in smaller amounts locally?
