Always love reading and sharing good news about bitcoin!
Not exactly news, because the date was already out several weeks ago. But from today onwards there will be no double taxing on bitcoin.
Australia has done a similar thing with bitcoin, they used to tax bitcoin as a good, so a 10% GST, and when you buy something with bitcoin, they'll tax you once more. But yesterday/today depending on your timezone this was changed as well.
From 1 July 2017, though, the government is exempting purchases of digital currency from Australia's 10 per cent Goods and Services tax.
Who's next???
