I they don't know you have the money, they can't tax it. If you managed to get money into certain address years ago before regulations have been implemented and you haven't touched that since, it's unlikely they'll find it. As for what you keep in exchanges now, they can track that. Thankfully though for now they seem to be content on charging only when you cash out.
Thank you for your insight sir but could it be possible that trading or buying cryptocurrencies could be taxable? If indeed yes, does it mean that the government already intervenes cryptomarket right?

I think tax of cryptocurrency is normal thing, but that government which that asks for taxes should be legalize cryptocurrency too.
Because that like not balance if government not legalize Cryptocurrency but they ask for taxes.
and if this happen, I think that will bring good effect for cryptocurrency in future, because more peoples will use cryptocurrency. And that will backing crypto price and make it stable, maybe can reach high price.
And about taxes, user of cryptocurrency will not feel awkward to pay tax, because this is profitable both sides, that is User and Goverment.
This is like Win Win Solutions and Win Win solutions is the best solutions in my mind. and I hope the best for cryptocurrency later.

Most countries are now able to introduce the tax system especially in the GCC countries. As for the cryptocurrencies, I've read an article about the taxation of Bitcoin and Etherium in the New York Times.

Generally taxation is used by the government to increase their funds for the benefit of its constituents. Aren't cryptocurrencies decentralized? Unlike the actual bills and we use as medium for exchange/trading and investment which are all centralized and its circulation is being controlled by the government right?

If the tax system will pursue, is it fair enough seeing that the government is about to invade bitcoin? What are your insights about this?

Actually, people from many countries do not know how the taxation for the bitcoin goes on and how much do we need to pay to our country's government. There is no fixed slab for the taxation in many countries yet but here in India the returns from the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are considered under the Capital gains or even as business income and there different scenarios of how the taxes are filed under the different categories which need to be explained in detail and i have attached the Quora link for this purposes have a view on it for more information.

I think we are still far away from the taxation of crypto currencies. Why do I say this, it is because that we dont have a single committee that is willing to commit and fix the regulation system of crypto currencies. We need to see first how things would be regulated before we can focus on the taxation system that would be put into place.

In most cases governments are charging taxes in fiat. In order to get charged you need to sell your funds first. All those taxation will continue to seem logical untill cryptocurrencies are used not as a payment method. I don't think that you will get taxed for buying and then selling the same abount of some stablecoins. I also think that  normal people will still be able to sell their cryptos without any problems. I doubt that aby serious tax department will try to charge you for selling 1k$ worth of bitcoin (unless there will be any national exchange with % included) or untill a good volume is passing thru you.
For normal people it is a sign that cryptos are getting more established.
Yes for normal people cryptos are gettign more established recently i consulted tax auditor where i discussed about bitcoin earning without invcestment like mining trading faucets bounty signature airdrop he dint understand finally i said online earning . Still he is finding way to submit tax .

There is no difference between Crypto currencies and other commodities that are being traded on a open market. When you trade a commodity and you made a profit, you should pay capital gains on that profit. The US see that as trade income and they define Bitcoin as a commodity.

You should just keep good records of all your trades to see if you made a profit or a loss at the end of the financial year.

I get your point sir, So does it mean that whenever you invest on some cryptos you will not get taxed right? Only when you sell your funds right? Thanks for the help sir, highly ppreciated.
Everything is literally not about crtypto. It is about the fiat amount of your cryptocurrency and how much money did you get from it. For example if you buy 100 USDT and then sell 100 USD you didn't get any profit and shouldn't be taxed. But if for example back in 2015 you bought a couple BTC and you cashing it now then you probably would be asked  to pay some money to your big brother because you got the outcome of your investments (and will be charged for the % of it, not the whole amount). Ofc maybe some government will be dumb enough to add extra taxes but imho this taxation will be adequate and mostly affect enterpreneurs and companies.

Maybe your perception of the tax on crypto is different from mine. Fixed taxes must be paid using fiat currency because a tax is a duty to every citizen in the world that is useful to increase the income of his country. There is no single government that provides tax payments to use crypto but there is a crypto is exchanged in advance with the conventional currency so that the amount is real and the exchange results will be taxed because it is considered as your income. May my perception of this tax enlighten you and there may be other opinions about this tax.
