Regional context
Asia has very different regimes: from countries with no capital gains tax (Singapore, Hong Kong) to flat rates of 30% (India). Several countries are reforming their rules, so it is advisable to review the current regulations each year.
Before filing: have your history in order
The first step to a proper tax declaration is to download the complete transaction history from each platform you use. MiCA-licensed exchanges often provide ready-to-use annual reports, which significantly simplifies the filing process.
