I know it's considered a commodity, and that they are taxing it as capital gains. I was just interested if anybody knew around about what percentage it was. Trust me I'm just getting guidance and so forth from people here but as far as tax information and all that kind of stuff I'm not going to be getting that information from a forum.
So, I did take a little look at what the percentage would be in the US, and it seems to entirely depend on what tax bracket you belong in, which is a similar system to how tax is handled in the UK.
According to Wikipedia (probably not the best source) the percentage they tax is entirely dependant of your living situation; for example, single, married etc. It seems that there are seven different tax brackets based on the information
However, because I'm not overly familiar with the system in the US, whether that is accurate or not I have no idea. Although, it does seem Bitcoin is treated the same as any other capital gain tax in the US, so it should fall within the same brackets.
Basically, the short answer is between 10-37%.
