Hi there,

Bitstamp have been all bitchy about KYC questionaires etc lately aswell has implenting the mandatory verification process not a long time ago. Maybe it's just pressure from banks.
But what happens with this information?

1) Does Bitstamp send the statistics/cashflow information of my account to the tax authorities in my country (EU)?
If yes, what sums $$?

2) I was wondering if it's 100% safe to request an withdraw to a bank located in Hong Kong, without being exposed by Bitstamp to the taxman where I live.

I know Bitstamp is not a bank but they almost act like one. Need to be 100% sure on this.

Hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks in advance

ps. I will never go near BTC-E, don't even suggest it Wink

What kind of KYC questionnaires do they have?

As i know, you do not pay tax when you are trading bitcoins as a private person. You do not provide a service or goods to be taxed in the first place.
However, if you are having a company with assets in bitcoin you might have to declare it in company balance sheet.
