I would like to hear about the situation with bitcoin and taxes in your countries.
I think it would be interesting to hear different experiences and compare results across countries.
Of course, I understand that in some countries you can't declare bitcoin tax.
I'm not interested in these countries but the ones where it is possible to declare and pay bitcoin tax.
I will start first.
In Croatia, several years ago we received clear instructions from the tax office on how to file a bitcoin tax.
In short, we must lead FIFO and if we can prove that we held btc funds more than 2 years, than we don't need to pay tax (long term investment).
If we have kept btc funds for less than 2 years, we pay 12 % tax plus surtax.
Can you share situation in your country?
Here in our country, the tax has been going up and down for the past few years because of the unstableness of the government. There was once recent issue that involves stealing the money of the people by those who are in authority. It was also evident here that not all of our tax goes to beneficial stuffs for everyone, some officials steal it and take it as an easy money. When it comes to bitcoin, the government is now silent about the use of it after what happened before where bitcoin was considered as a scam by those who are less knowledgeable about crypto.
