If not mentioned in your country's tax law, It will be treated as income. Still contact tax persons from your country.

Any activity in the country that brings profits to individuals and legal entities is taxed by the state on a tax basis. No exception is the crypto currency. It is necessary to get used to the idea that eventually all states will impose a profit tax on financial transactions with the crypto currency. Crypto currency for an indefinitely long time can lie in a purse and it will not be taxed until it is exchanged for fiat or for it will not be made the purchase of goods or services. However, if such a tax is not directly established by the state, it is not necessary to pay it.

Taxation is the only way for the government to make money in bitcoin and if they will legalized bitcoin then it will be easy for them to control it because the bitcoin will be under to their law and they can charge taxes in a cryptocurrency exchange which is a big fish for them and they can get lot of profit by doing that so it is just like give and take for bitcoin.

Yes bitcoin is taxable. Not by means of the government is taxing but I guess that the miners were the one who are asking for taxes. The confirmation is dependable on how much btc you spend. If you will spend the high amount in sending then the confirmation of your transaction will be fast.

Of course miner reward or transaction fee is the same as tax. In the case of government asking for tax for bitcoin holders. The easiest way to tax is via exchangers. Every transaction in exchangers is taxed. The bitcoin users may not complain about that policy if the tax applied is rational to the profit. Bitcoin merchants alse should be taxed. When the govt charges tax to bitcoin , it means that govt legalizes bitcoin. for some countries tax is  not applied in every transaction of exchangers but tax is applied in the volume of fiat currency in the country.

It difficult to impose tax on the bitcoin because it is not money for tax purposes. The IRS of the US once considered it as personal property like gold or stock. But when you are in business in buying and selling of the cryptocurrency, your gains can be taxed like capital gain rates. Taxation on bitcoin transactions may not be simple as it seems because it is difficult to determine the fair value of the bitcoin.

Not righy now. Maybe  in  a few years.

For develoing countries it migth be difficult to tax bitcoin transactions,but it easier for devloed country where every fiat transaction can be monitored.the possibility migth be difficult globally as transaction cannot be determined if it crytocurrency relted or not.

Unless bitcoin gets legalized and regulated in a country,citizens of those countries could enjoy tax free earnings from bitcoins even if it is of very huge amount.Just in india,we all still enjoy tax free bitcoin earnings as it has not yet been legalized in india so far.But once,it gets legalized,then we have no other way than paying taxes.Very soon,it is to be legalized in india and we would have to loose the tax free benefit.

This, most likely, depends on the government of your country. Therefore, better find out the legislation of your country

bitcoin is not subject to tax yet. but Russians and many other governments are trying to find ways to tax, even license the mining... https://www.bitcoinmarketinsider.com/russian-regulators-found-way-to-identify-tax-and-license-crypto-miners/

No, bitcoin is not taxable because it is decentralized. no one can know that you are using bitcoin or not. However, some exchange such as poloniex, collect fee from customer and they also collect information from customers, too. Well, in the future, if they want to work in the US religion, they have to reveal information to the government. I believe that the US will soon make poloniex to do this

[RayvenPierre]

No, bitcoin is not subjected to tax. The government will not be able to get any tax from bitcoin not unless they will be legalizing it which I don't think will be favorable to us users because that will be meaning that there will be other fees aside from the transaction fees that we already are paying.

[TelolettOm]

I think taxation happens when you want to withdraw bitcoin into money because there must be a fee. now if I want to withdraw the money taxed 1%

Please at least read the thread before posting. Throughout most of the world bitcoin is taxable. Consult your local government.
