Tax regulation comprises the laws, rules, and administrative pronouncements that govern the imposition and collection of taxes. For digital assets, this body of rules specifies how cryptocurrencies and other tokens are classified for tax purposes, what activities trigger taxable events, and how gains or losses are calculated. These regulations aim to ensure fair and consistent taxation across all forms of wealth and income. They provide a legal framework for fiscal compliance.
