Government Taxing Bitcoin? Here's the Answer

[Debonaire217]

On the one hand, various taxes on cryptocurrencies are not very good, because this is additional pressure from the government on people.
On the other hand, if the government thinks out some kind of policy regarding cryptocurrencies, makes them a legal means of payment, then you can think about this.

I quite remember one policy that Philippines has, which is the train law, taxes increase too high and it affects mostly those that earns profit. The higher your profit, the higher your tax. If this could be applied to cryptocurrencies, investors will be discourage to increase their profit that much. Though, in the first place, there is no concrete news concerning government taxing bitcoin aside from local exchanges.

In most of the countries, those with higher earnings have to pay a higher tax slab. Here in India, the tax slabs increase progressively from 5% to 42.5%. But even after all this, less than 3% of the population pay any income tax. The farmers are exempted from income tax and in India 80% of the population claims that they are farmers.

All that said, I have to disagree when you say that higher taxes will discourage people from earning profits. Because even after all these taxes, the individual is left with a good amount for himself. The exemptions may be countries such as Germany and Sweden, where the tax rate is around 60%.

80% claims to be farmer but the truth is not?and why not government take their gills on this stupidity?are the government having "Red tapes" on this issues?gaining from the tax evaders?so that is the problem why taxation is not successfully taking place.

All that said, I have to disagree when you say that higher taxes will discourage people from earning profits. Because even after all these taxes, the individual is left with a good amount for himself. The exemptions may be countries such as Germany and Sweden, where the tax rate is around 60%.

and also that is the problem from the people that don't know what is taxation all about or theya re justy greedy to oppose?even before our grand ancestors born from the oldest people when the human starts to learn trading,Taxation is implemented already and the truth is?it is much higher in past than in our generation now.

We will have private corporations taking over and each one does a share of the work. Since there is no tax to pay each business can contribute through means of shares. Instead of paying tax for nothing you will own part of what you bought shares in. So you can own part of the road if you wish and sell it to others. If a road needs to be built people will invest in it like stocks and the people building the road will be paid. Then the stockholders can do as they wish with it. They would have to maintain it as well though so there would be a certain level of regulation.

Though the government wants to get tax, who earns lots of money using Cryptocurrency. But they are unable to find out the technology, how they identify the targeted member who earned the money. That's why they are failed to get tex. But I think, Then tax will be added in futures. And Each country will be developed.

That means income tax, right?
The development and popularity of cryptocurrency are widespread, many people use it and this is like a new lifestyle, a new trend in earning money, investing, and doing transactions or payments. Government policies will provide trust, the legitimacy for digital assets increases, although everything depends on the behavior of each user. I agree with this tax, a kind of symbiosis of mutualism with the government, provided that it is transparent and appropriate.

And when it comes to cryptocurrencies, right now, it is hard to apply tax on them because most governments don't know yet how to deal with crypto. What they can do, is when someone convert their crypto to fiat and send to their bank or remittance, they can already get a small portion out of it. But it should be put into law what percentage are they scrapping from this conversion. Also, only regulated local crypto exchange can be subjected into this because those 3rd party services offering conversion crypto to fiat without government license are not covered by this. So if a crypto user wants to avoid such scrapping from his crypto, he will just go to this unlicensed ones, but not safe for his funds. Anyway, right now, it is still unclear how government can impose tax to its crypto users. It should at least be transparent how are they going to implement such regulations on crypto users.

I always wonder how could an economy operate and run without taxes from cryptocurrencies. How could a government obtain taxes from people when people are completely utilizing a currency that is not supporting taxes. Would it be really good if we completely have our fiats converted to crypto? For me, there's always a way if our intention is good. We cannot really deny how government is providing regulation that is mainly for the betterment of us despite of some issues regarding corruption and frauds.

For me, the way we could still make it possible is to establish a local exchange wherein, if we convert our money to crypto, these local exchange could already have the portion intended for the tax of each transactions.

Most likely, this will continue to be so in the future. Local exchanges will automatically calculate the tax from each transaction and for this we will have to leave their identification data there. This procedure for paying taxes is the most logical. But if we turn to exchanges located on the territory of other states, here the process of paying taxes will already be more complicated and, most likely, the government in this case will rely on the consciousness of its citizens.

Different countries, different rules when it comes to paying taxes. But it is also important to emphasize that paying taxes is a completely normal thing, especially if the tax money goes to the right purposes (public schools, kindergartens, hospitals, courts, etc.), and something else if it goes into the pockets of corrupt politicians and ordinary people only gets crumbs.

Your idea that crypto exchanges collect tax would be good for users, but the whole thing doesn't work that way. Governments want the tax to be reported and paid directly to them, not through some intermediaries like exchanges. The problem is in fact that taxes are too high when we consider the total amount we need to pay.

If we take the example that the capital gain tax rate is 20%, and you pay that every year it is maybe within some normal limits. But if you have VAT on every purchase which is again 20% or more you pay extra tax again on fiat you get from selling crypto. Although there are ways to avoid paying taxes when it comes to cryptocurrency, any trader on exchange which requires KYC will pay it sooner or later.

We have nothing to do with the government getting taxes with our bitcoin because in the first place, we should be thankful that they legalize cryptocurrency in a country and not all countries in the world have courage to make it possible. Some countries are still not implementing cryptocurrency that's why they don't understand how it works.

The only problem here is that the fees or taxes are far too high, but what can we do if that's the government's way to benefit to our bitcoin. We just need to accept the fact that the fees in the exchange are really high than having a government that is against to bitcoin. There purpose is for its people's sake and not for the corrupt politicians.

We do really have a fees in more aspects not only in exchange, taxes are necessary so that the government have funds and budget for their project and all of us will surely benefit to that.

The fee for us to execute orders is the exchange's profit, then they pay taxes and that doesn't include our taxes. If true, the government's tax system will look at your account monthly to know your income and thereby collect your taxes accordingly. But now the governments don't seem to have a suitable tax policy yet because traders still trade in the black market quite a lot and can't control it. That's why many governments do not let people operate in the crypto market.

Yeah thats why the exchange must be legit and allowed by the government so
we are sure that safe is where our currency drives.
the Taxes paid by the exchange is where we are contributing the payment
but i think this must be extended so the government will
Not seek more for the crypto users.
there so maybe the system will respect our Needs in privacy and may also supports us in future .

That is what the government continues to do and strive for by the government, the government always says bitcoin is a scam, bitcoin is damaging to the environment, bitcoin can destroy the economy, it's just their intellect to say all that ... because they have only one goal, the government just wants to tax us.
Bitcoin users, because they have seen bitcoin generate thousands of dollars, without paying any taxes ...

Currently I lived in a country where bitcoin wasn't legally adopted nor announced as illegal and prohibiting its people to used or invest it. But if one of the reason why our government will goind to adopt bitcoin is because they wanted to serve a tax to any transactions or even in exchange then I guess there is nothing I can do than to comply of what was been set as regulation or law. Though, i hate the fact that our government will going to have a tax in bitcoin if ever because the tax percentage here in our country was high.
