in your country income from bitcoin taxed? state the country
I think that no country from everywhere have a tax for bitcoin yet. Even if the country that we reside in have taxes for our yearly income this does not take into consideration the income that we are getting from our investments and encashments on bitcoin. One thing that we must always push theough is for governments and people understand the concept of bitcoin before it be taxed or worse
Many countries tax bitcoin gains. Didn't you read the thread? Here are examples from Spain, USA and the UK:
In my country, Spain, bitcoin earnings are considered as stock market earnings in general. If you earn up to 6.000 € you have to pay 19%, if you earn up to 50.000€ you have to pay 21% and if you earn more than 50.000€ you have to pay 23%.
In some cases, it is interesting to cash out a bit less to pay lower tax. So, let’s say that you want to cash out 8.000€ in November but you are not in a hurry. It is better to cash out 6.000€ and wait a couple of months to cash out the other 2.000€ so you will pay 19% tax instead of 21%.
As far as I am aware in the United Kingdom tax on bitcoin earnings would be treated as capital gains as and when you sell your bitcoin.
And as far as I know people in US should report capital gains to the IRS, traders who buy and holding cryptocurrency should use capital gain or loss tax treatment on sales and exchanges, with the realization method, in the end capital gain or loss needs to be reported on that transaction based on exchange rate at the time.

However, Japan as the first country that has legalized bitcoin has eliminated tax on the sale of bitcoin,

In Britain it's classed as an asset - so you pay capital gains tax when you sell. And teh capital gain is the amount you sell it at less the amount you paid for it.
The first £11,300 of the capital gain each year is tax free. Then you pay tax at your marginal rate - so 20% if you are a basic rate taxpayer.
So as long as you don't sell all at once, and cash out slowly year by year, you don't really pay much tax.
