Write any types of cryptocurrency taxes?
Types of cryptocurrency taxes first capital gains tax it's a tax that is applied to the profit made from selling or trading cryptocurrencies and it is calculated based on the difference between purchase price and the selling price of the cryptocurrency.
Another one is Income Tax which is applicable to any cryptocurrency received as income and such as mining rewards, airdrops, or payments received in cryptocurrencies and It is also calculated based on the market value of the cryptocurrency at the time it was received.
Is tax payment is mandatory for each and every cryptocurrency holdings?
According to the little knowledge i have about cryptocurrency tax laws regarding cryptocurrency holdings vary by country, but in some jurisdictions, tax payment is indeed mandatory for cryptocurrency holdings.
Like In the United States, for example, the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes, meaning that capital gains taxes may apply when you sell or exchange cryptocurrencies. It's important to consult with a tax professional or accountant to understand your specific tax obligations based on your country's tax laws and your individual circumstances.
How are cryptocurrency gains and losses taxed?
Cryptocurrency gains and losses are typically taxed as either capital gains or ordinary income and it's depending on the holding period and also the purpose of acquiring the cryptocurrency.
Also capital Gains: If you are holding cryptocurrency as a capital asset like stocks or bonds any gains or losses from the sale or exchange of the asset are treated as capital gains or losses so capital gains are further classified as short-term held for one year or less or long-term held for more than one year.
So Short-term capital gains are always taxed at ordinary income tax rates, while long-term capital gains are taxed at lower capital gains tax rates, which can range from 0% to 20% depends on your income level.
Ordinary Income: If you receive cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services, it is always treated as ordinary income and taxed at your regular income tax rate based on the market value.
