Do Bitcoins have Tax??

[tabas]

I think Bitcoins have no tax here in the Philippines. They can't determine the user of Bitcoin. Government got immersive collection of money in Value Added Tax(VAT) so maybe they couldn't snoop it. Bitcoin converted into real money then the goods or things that you purchased and services that you used was also have a tax. Same process.

Not just in Philippines but as well as other countries. But I guess local exchange that are legally permitted by the law are the ones who are responsible for paying tax. And they are charged for operating in a particular country but not for knowing that bitcoin is profitable, they are just simply paying tax and I guess we are also shouldering that taxation from them.

I guess so, those exchanging companies who converted bitcoin to cash paid the taxes base on their business profits that is being allotted for their yearly tax. But some services were assigned to us users like a minimum transaction or service fees.

And each transaction that we are making does have tax out of that fees, we may not just know for those exchanges are not disclosing it to us. Because if they will disclose it to us, for sure many of their customers will back out because of that hidden tax that they are charging us. But if their service is good enough, then that's fine to be taxed.

[fasdorcas]

There is a tax in the US for bitcoin, it is considered as any investment. The Internal Revenue Service wants people to report it like any other assets (stocks, real estate etc). So yes, it is taxed.

In my opinion bitcoin doesn't need tax, because it's digital currency.

That's joke of the day LOL. Bitcoin doesn't need tax because bitcoin it's a currency as you spoken before, neither government nor organisation, the ones who need tax is the government where you're living. The tax will be used to provide services to their citizens and to make their life easier. That's why they need to get an income from the taxes as much as they can

Lets put it this way. A tax is derived from your income. Which means any of your earning whether it is legal or illegal is taxable. Which means if you are earning Bitcoin it can be tax fully. Even donating money has tax. As you have said also Bitcoin is a kind of currency, the word currency itself means money we can't escape to accept that if the government takes action we have no choice to not pay our tax that comes from Bitcoin.

[Pattart]

Are you saying that each time BT changes hands, it gets taxed? Is the rate the same in every country?

Regarding income tax though, I suppose it'd allow you escape tax for most freelance jobs.

if the tax to bitcoin is actually implemented in a country can be sure that many users avoid paying taxes, because it would be very easy for the user to avoid taxes right ?

Since bitcoin is an internet currency that can be turn into a actual money. And Bitcoin too is known on Government but still government can't observe bitcoin that good. So I'm thinking if Bitcoin has tax??

Edit:
Now I know that bitcoin doesn't have tax but Transaction does..
Where do these Tax go?Government? And what kind of tax is it??

Bitcoin doesn't have a tax but it has a cashout fee depends on the website you invested like trading sites it has 5% to 10% fee when you get your money but dont have tax in the government, government not holding it because it is from the internet like internet stores that has no tax.

BTC Paying taxes on any earned income or anything with value is good. You can record all blockchain transactions showing proof. Pay your tithes, pay your taxes. BTC

That's pretty normal dude, but the big difference is, in cash out fee it is fix regardless of the amount you will cash out but with tax, there's a bracket of taxation depending on your total income earned.

If the government approved, I think the country must accept bitcoin as one alternative payment. For now, I sure this is impossible, because can make other problems and regulations.

If ever the government will regulate bitcoin, it cannot still be fully regulated because we will continue to be anonymous since the system is designed to be decentralized, once decentralized it will connect us with being anonymous and maybe when the government will make strict polity towards it, people will not continue to support bitcoin.

It is true that many people will lose interest in bitcoin if governments start controlling it, because we are using in the first place because it is not controlled even it is still anonymous.

But I am pretty sure if by any mean, it was used by government they will use it to get taxes off of people which will then make like any other currency out there.

Tax free usage seems to be one among the major attention seeker, but when taxes were imposed sure government holds control over bitcoin. This will make it similar to other currencies, only it gets the digital form. Till date taxation is not possible with bitcoin transactions.

Yes Bitcoin don't have any personal tax When we sell or buy bitcoin from any company they charge some percentage in the name of transaction tax. But it will not go government it will go to the company account. I have one doubt we will buy coins in online so we send money to the company account, The company how they show this transaction to the government I don't know. Because if Bitcoin involves means it's illegal transaction. I don't know how this process will work.

[guoyu78]

as far as i know their is no tax in bitcoin transaction but some site uses fees for their services , but i don't think so that this fees are to be or can be considered as a tax from your transaction

Getting some fees for your transaction it's same means for you getting a tax for your transaction, i think the tax and fees not having a large different in their definition but maybe some people is having different definition about that, for me tax and fees is same.

you can not say that the fees and tax are same thing , if owner get extra charges on anything then we say it fees, and if the government get charges we can say the tax mean these are too different from each other .

At the most, the government can regulate the conversion of BTC to fiat, and vice versa. It is not possible for the government to monitor and regulate Bitcoin transactions from one wallet to another.
