[POLL] Paid your taxes ?

[Spoetnik]

Since it is in fact law.. i am curious how many of you have or not.

..feel free to vote if you have the balls 

[HardFireMiner]

Interesting topic . I voted .

[Spoetnik]

Well i know for a fact you are SUPPOSE to be paying the tax on your profits on exchanges if you are Canadian or American and possibly other places.
So.. do you ?

I voted NO because i quit trading when i heard the law implemented in Canada. (2013)
I have nothing to declare ever since then.

I see random comments from people praising the tax free benefits about this shit.
Just bear in mind you are not "free" and you are not in the clear either.

What many of you do is in fact criminal.
This shit is not legit and the cops are coming.
I warned you lots before.

Coinbase was being sued by the IRS for mass records ..why ? (Coinbase recently won)
Yet that did not stop them from helping the US authorities to catch Artem the owner of KickAssTorrents.
They were more than happy to rat him out behind closed doors.
So you guys need to be aware if the IRS or Rev-Can contact an exchange and ask for your records you could be in a fuck load of trouble.

It was the Tax-Man that took down the untouchable Al Capone.
And boy do some of you need to be taken out at the knees.

No,bcs there is no law in my country.I even went to tax department and they didn't know wtf I am taking about

[NeuroticFish]

No, and I don't think I should. Not yet.
The tax institutions in my country are pretty retarded. They are in 19th century still. When they'll evolve, they may ask me about this and then I will obviously pay. But until then .. why wake them up, I'd just make the monster angry. And that could turn against me.

Yeah, also we talk here about pretty small amounts, that's maybe another reason I am still "cool" about this issue.


If Bitcoin gets regulated in my country and I know I have to pay (and how much) then I will clearly comply.

I have, bitcoin.tax is an excellent platform to use. I mostly spent bitcoins using my coinbase shift debit card. I was testing the waters.
   I bought some pizza and a videogame. Then took around $40 out of an atm. I filed using taxact, they allow an import option for .csv files. I haven't had any taxable gains/losses as of this year yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time though.

[John Titor]

Not yet, will have to declare a lot for the 2017 tax year though.  We are all going to have to pay up eventually, it would be better to go to the IRS first and say "hey I owe you guys money, here" than it would be for the reverse to happen.  Anyone that plans on avoiding taxes forever is walking into a world of hurt, seriously I'd fuck with ISIS before I fuck with the IRS.

[yunuzov]

In most of the countries they don't even recognize bitcoin so it isn't taxable even. I don't know what I would do if it was. Probably I wouldn't like to pay taxes as I see everyday how rich people avoid taxes using their firms. I don't gain much for taxable gain limit anyways.

[Ayers]

no lol, there is no law that said that you must pay anything if you don't exchange your altcoin, i'm not exchanging for now and i don't need to pay, but if i need to exchange a small amount i would probably not pay either, for bigger amount it's different

[hypecoinz]

I'm not sure 100%, but in the US, I believe withdrawing Bitcoins gained from trading/holding would qualify as capital gains (and losses) and are subject to the same taxes as other investments.

[pearlmen]

I voted No because over here, government is yet to take a position on how to handle the issue of crypto currency but I am sure that in few years a position will be taken. I am not going to evade tax because I know that is illegal but for now, I and others in this part of the world will have to keep enjoying and if at all they want to do a back-duty investigation, its most likely to be a civil case rather than a criminal one.

[shyliar]

In Canada you pay capital gains which means first 50 percent of profit is not taxed. The second 50 percent is taxed at your highest rate. If you have RRSP contributions from past 7 years good to put that second 50 percent into an RRSP and pay no taxes for now.

[daveon]

Tax is theft. Fuck you and die!

[ghostunicorn]

I'm not gonna pay tax for bitcoin transactions/earnings. It has no link to centralized system and government can't take a shit from me.  

If the government has the balls, they can come over here and see what's gonna happen.

The government will find out that he no longer has bitcoins at that address because of his foresight to transfer it to another altcoin. So the government will be wasting their time.

[Tidsdilatation]

Hell fucking no!!! My country is so fucking corrupt and dont support the working class anymore, so why the fuck would i give them money??

[riskthebiscuit]

Nah, you pay taxes based on net gain (deduct losses).
