Do I owe taxes on crypto where I live?
-
In most countries, yes. Over 100 jurisdictions — including the U.S., U.K., EU, Australia, Canada, India, and most of Asia — now treat crypto as a taxable asset. Whenever you sell, trade, spend, earn, or stake crypto, it often triggers a taxable event. Only a handful of countries (like UAE, Singapore, and certain EU microstates) offer crypto-friendly tax exemptions. Always check your local tax authority’s rules because each country defines taxable events differently. -
