The crypto tax laws may vary depending on the country you reside in and other factors such as your filing status, income bracket, and marital status. But, in general, there are mainly two types of taxes applicable to Bitcoin transactions.

  • Income Tax- If you are earning rewards (e.g. through lending or staking) or receiving, you may need to pay income tax.
  • Capital Gains Tax- If you profit from the disposal of your crypto assets (e.g. by selling your tokens, AAVE, UNI, ETH, etc.), you incur capital gains tax.
