Always love reading and sharing good news about bitcoin!
This tax wasn't even rightfully imposed in the first place.
So basically, the government has been quietly taking 8% extra tax on every regulated single bitcoin sale, ON TOP of the taxes that you'd have to pay for goods and services if you bought something with bitcoin.
It's obviously good that Japan and Australia have both done this as a part of their country's program to become more innovative in the area of fintech, and it is extremely good news that they are doing this and probably is a big part of the recent bitcoin pump. But i wonder if they would consider refunding the tax difference for previous bitcoin purchases?
