As the title says, are bitcoin buying or selling or any transactions being taxed in your country? I want to compare how our government see bitcoin

Here in my country, they do not tax bitcoin transactions but instead the wallet provider is offering overpriced deposit and withdrawal fees. We have no choice but to use it because it is the only option we have. How bout you?

in Indonesia it is still not very popular, whereas for cash payments or buying goods it is not permitted, hopefully in the future it can be used for payment

Honestly government in any country...doesn't see bitcoin as valuable currency...why should they tax in what they cannot control....that's one thing about btc that we all are happy about...is not taxed...all those sites that has high transaction fee for withdrawing is the only way for them to earn their share...so before making any kind of trade..look up their cost...each site is different..best bet having an external wallet is best..if you trade and uses one of those platforms but has high fees.. just store the minimal to have your offer open...in your description just say if want more have separate payments because coins stored in a different wallet..and give them the reason..works best with paypal...it worked great with me...

Greece. I am more than certain there isn't a single member of the government that has the slightest clue, what bitcoin is, they are so hopeless they couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery. To answer your question, no bitcoin is not taxed.

Well in my country its not. My ciuntry is not too back nor too front on development but my bitcoins do get taxed indirectly when I buy something online from amazon or a shop due to VAT

Here I don't think the government even knows much about crypto in general. The only downside is the hefty 5-10% fee charged by ATM/BTC stores. That's for both buying and selling, meaning if you buy and sell you have to pay up to 20% fee, which is just stupid and ridiculous. That's why I prefer peer-to-peer trades, although those come with much bigger risks of potential scams.

Yes, I'm taxed on purchasing bitcoin, selling bitcoin and then charged furthermore an extra fee to withdraw funds to my bank card using a service which I find very expensive. Not many places sadly that are low in fees and each company I find is very different from the others. But it's always good to pay a little extra to get a secure service.

From where are you again db? Lol so if you want to cash in 100$ then youll get 90$ worth of bitcoin is that it?

Yes, my government as far as I know taxes bitcoin, but only profits that you made from it. There's also a lot of other requirements, so unless you are making massive amounts of money form it, the profits that are made are usually below the minimum taxable thresholds :)

Same here, our government do not tax the bitcoin transaction and about the fee (indodax) is also quite big too, especially for withdrawal, it's a bit too much.

Indonese and Pinoys have much similar government and way of living since we used to lived together back in time. So it is natural to have the same government styles. But that will not stop us right? Wkwkwk

But may I know from where do you buy your bitcoins ? Because if you are buying from the site owned by the government then yeah you will get taxed but in other cases I dont think so. If you buy from lbc I think there won't be any taxes.

Nope, here in Indonesia there is no government rules about taxes. its totally free, but when u want to withdraw we needs to pay at least $1,5 . and depends on the amount

 

yes depending on the market that we registered for withdrawal, but for payments not allowed in Indonesia only as an asset

Russia. No fees from government, only small fee in local exchange sites :) 

Same here in Saudi Arabia. Probably one of the advantages of not recognizing crypto *yet*

How that's possible @wilbur i use localbitcoin as my trading platform... i have the minimal amount for buyers to buy... if they wanted to get more..they purchase the minimal.. and message me the other amount they want.. i have an external wallet that i keep my entire bits.. so i get separate payments.. customers get the face value... only mining fee is subtracted... i dont scam or loss any profit..only payment i accept is paypal and bank transfer...

Here in my countrt there's no tax, but in buying bitcoin versus selling ng it on our local wallet theres a huge gap. Also our local bitcoin wallet has huge,cash out or withdrawal fee
