Regulation & Taxation
Legal framework defining financial and tax obligations for market participants.
Beginner-friendly explanation
Regulation sets rules for legally using cryptocurrencies. Taxation requires you to pay taxes if you earn money through crypto. Example: In France, you must declare your crypto gains in your annual tax return.
Intermediate-level insight
Crypto taxation depends on the type of activity (occasional trading, professional trading, mining, staking). Regimes vary: income tax, flat tax, or professional tax status. Example: Bitcoin trading as an individual in France is taxed at a flat 30%.
Advanced perspective
International crypto taxation is complex: Risk of double taxation, specific rules for stablecoins, NFTs, or DeFi gains, and enhanced reporting obligations (FATCA, CRS). Example: A French resident using foreign platforms must file a 3916 form to declare foreign accounts.
