Taxation on Crypto

Crypto taxation is how gains, income and transfers of digital assets are taxed; rules vary by country and change often.

In depth

In India, gains from transferring Virtual Digital Assets are taxed at a flat 30% (plus surcharge and cess) with no deductions other than the cost of acquisition, losses cannot be offset against other income, and a 1% TDS applies on many transfers. Other countries treat crypto as property, capital assets or currency, each with different consequences. Keep complete records of every trade.

India card: "30% on gains · 1% TDS · no loss set-off · report in ITR", beside an icon of a downloadable transaction report.
