It's just capital gains for all I know, but Norway (maybe Sweden as well?) require you to pay VAT when buying/selling

no fiat no tax, simple as that

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

You have to specify the country. Different countries tax all kinds of things differently e.g. capital gains, inheritance

Very similar if not exact in the US. Still finding out and learning, but this is what I have come up with from my accountant.

Man, I wish I could change my avatar!

USA.  Short term capital gains but it is a pain in the ass to track all of it down.  I am using FIFO method.

We are talking about what is LEGAL, not what you can get away with. This is the legal forum, anyways.

It's one thing to claim that taxes on bitcoin aren't easily enforceable. It's another thing to say they aren't owed at all.

If you want to talk about your tricks for tax evasion, start your own thread.

The scenario in that document is for person X which is to start a corporate business as an exchange, how does this affect the capital gains tax - not at all if you ask me.

So, Sweden

Looking like 30% in capital gains tax..

If your goal with this thread is to look for good regions for bitcoin businesses based on tax law you are probably looking at Cayman and UAE.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates

If your goal is to get some tax advice from anonymous internet postings, just know that relying on it is probably not a good idea.
If you pay for professional advice from an expert in your jurisdiction, at least you would have that to stand on, but "I read it on the internet" isn't going to be much use in a court.
