Recently, the Japanese Senator Fujimaki proposed to the Minister of Finance to review tax policy towards cryptocurrency. Now in the country pay up to 55 percent of the profits from the coin. Official has considered the option of switching to a 20 percent rate that applies for stocks and currency trading in the Forex market.

And while Japan decides whether to apply a progressive tax for digital assets, other countries have no clear policy of taxation of Bitcoin and altcoins. reviewed the situation in the 10 largest States.

the

United Kingdom

The Management of Her Majesty's tax and customs authority (HMRC) first mentioned Bitcoin in 2014 – then the Agency has published a guide to taxation crypts. Thus, the obtained income from the crypt subject to income tax, i.e. income tax or tax on capital gains depending on the specific activity of the subject. As explained by the representative of HMRC, income with digital assets are assessed individually.

However, the crypto currencies generally fall into the category of tax on capital gains in the United States, as they are considered investments.

If a digital asset is considered an investment, unlike working capital in the trading then any profit is subject to tax on capital gains.

Similarly, any transaction in the crypt may be taxed. However, HMRC once again clarify that the Agency individually assesses each case related to the crypt.

In the UK, there is a tax exemption for all adult citizens with annual incomes below a certain level. To 2018/2019 the bar had been set 11 850 pounds. If the taxpayer earns more (up to 46 350 pounds), he is obliged to pay 20 percent tax. Ranging from 46 to 350 up to 150 000 pounds the rate rises to 40 percent, and above 150 000 pounds to 45 percent.

the

United States

The IRS (IRS) views crypto currencies as property. So if American sells their coins, the profit from the transaction will be taxed on capital gains.

In 2014, the Agency decided that bought or mined digital assets should be taken into account when calculating the tax value at the time of purchase. This implies that mining, transactions, and gifts in the crypt are the reason for the withholding tax.

Cryptobinary not required to file form 1099 is used to report to the IRS on salaries and income. Because of this, the owners of the crypt is quite difficult to correctly report their income.

The IRS began to show great interest in the crypt in recent years. We will remind, in February 2018, the IRS demanded from Coinbase to transfer personal data of 13 thousand customers of the exchange.

the

Japan

The National tax Agency of Japan klassificeret digital assets as legal method of payment in the country. The crypt is subject to tax on different income. Profit from Bitcoin and altcoins here is taxed in the range of from 15 to 55 percent. The higher rate applies to the citizens, whose income exceeds 40 million yen per year.

A Huge percent of taxes are forcing some cryptohelper to move to countries where the state is not involved in digital assets. The head of the consulting firm of Tokyo Hiroyuki Komiya claims that he managed to reduce his taxes by several million yen. In the calculation of income Come used the overall average, not moving average. The businessman is still not sure of the proper actions of tax authorities as per the laws about cryptocurrencies is full of nuances.

The Government said some of the details, so that you can stay unsure, whether correctly completed the Declaration or not.

However, the laws of the cryptocurrency in Japan may change in the near future. Finance Minister discussed with the government possible ways of changing the progressive tax rates. Senator Fujimaki proposed to the Minister of Finance of Japan Taro ASO to introduce a separate estimated tax instead of the current program. This means that the progressive tax rate will be replaced by a fixed as it is made with trading stocks and currency on Forex. However, ASO questioned the positive public response to the new law.

In 2014, the Central Bank of Brazil announced cryptocurrencies outside the law, so financial regulation does not concern them. In practice, things are a little different. Bitcoin and altcoins are still subject to taxation. The tax office of the country asks citizens to specify their income from the crypt in taxes.
