Topic: Are Bitcoins taxable? - page 14. (Read 5286 times)
Well some countries right now are trying to impose a tax on using bitcoin. I heard US and UK have implemented a taxation rule in owning bitcoin. Some countries still ignores the presence of bitcoin.
Let's Bitcoin takes off. Say you lived in the US and had an online service that dealt in the equivalent of ~20,000 USD or more income for you (personally). What are the laws for income tax on a currency like this? Can you get in trouble with the IRS by simply having tons of BTC that the market values at (currently) almost 5$ per BTC?
It's your choice because today the world is alarmed for the pump of bitcoin and it has a possibility to ruin the circulation of money in your country also can affect the economics so they allow tax like that.
Every country has its own rules on what and how to levy taxes. I do have to smile at the OP when BTC was $5. If we knew then, we could have put a few bucks aside.

Well yes if you lived in the USA you would be in a bunch of trouble. Last week congress is trying to or successfully passed a law that makes it illegal to conceal bitcoin in the US which means you would be in hot water. But it does depend on where you live because taxation is 4% in the Netherlands I believe 0% in some weird island nations but in most 1st world countries you should pay 15-20% tax as it is capital gains.
Of the gov wana change something they will find an excuse to tax bitcoin. At the moment is not.
The IRS said that the bitcoin should be treated as an asset or an intangible property and not a currency, as it is not issued by central bank of a country. Bitcoin's treatment as an asset makes the tax implication clear.
NOPE.
it will be hard for any government to introduce tax to bitcoin.
since they will have to pinpoint whose the owner of it first before they can charge anything.
but whenever a bitcoin owner turns converts his coin to cash then this will be the time that the government can impose taxes.
through the exchanges.

As far as I know if you have a business where you use Bitcoin as a form of cash then it is taxable. What I know also is that if you are exchanging it via exchangers and withdrawing it through your bank accounts then it is not taxable.
Bitcoin can't be taxed because you need to track or spot the guy made the transaction to tax him . But in Bitcoin you can't do that suck as thing.

How's that? If Bitcoin is not a currency, you may still have to pay taxes on it. It can be considered as property or commodity, and then you will have to pay the property tax when you sell your bitcoins.
For now bitcoin is not taxed. However bitcoin and other crypto has a tx fee only.
If in the future bitcoin is considered as a legal asset, maybe it can be taxed.
