Crypto landscape in India
As per recent data, India boasts a crypto-user base of over 15 million, with an average of 20,000 transactions executed each day. These figures are increasing exponentially, pointing to a vibrant market for crypto-assets. The crypto industry's growth has prompted the government to outline new tax rules, creating a need for specialized services.
But before anything else let’s dive in and see how is crypto currency is taxed in India since it’s the very first time when people would be filing taxes:
- The gains made from trading cryptocurrencies are taxed at a rate of 30%(plus 4% cess) according to Section 115 BBH.
- Section 194S levies 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on the transfer of crypto assets from July 01, 2022, if the transactions exceed ₹50,000 (or even ₹10,000 in some cases) in the same financial year.
- Crypto tax applies to all investors, whether private or commercial, who transfer digital assets during the year.
- The tax rate is the same for short-term and long-term gains, and it applies to all types of income earned by the investor.
With the introduction of guidelines by the Income Tax Department in 2021, the responsibility to accurately report and pay taxes on their crypto transactions now falls on the taxpayers.
