A pilot market
During the pilot period, only platforms authorized by the Ministry of Finance can legally operate, and they must withhold tax. The treatment of operations on foreign exchanges remains unclear: review current regulations before declaring.
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.
