Blockchain Taxation

Definition

Blockchain taxation involves the application of tax laws to transactions and activities conducted using distributed ledger technology. This domain addresses how various digital asset events, such as trading, mining, staking, and airdrops, are categorized for income, capital gains, or other levies. Jurisdictions worldwide are striving to clarify the tax implications of cryptocurrency holdings and transfers, often adapting existing financial regulations to these novel asset classes. The objective is to ensure compliance and fair revenue collection from participants in the digital economy.
