Crypto tax in Taiwan

Crypto in Taiwan is taxed as ordinary income.

For an individual relocating to Taiwan, gains on selling or otherwise disposing of cryptocurrency are generally taxed as regular income at progressive rates up to 40%, with no tax break for long-term holding.

“Income from transactions of property shall be included in the consolidated income tax return of the year of transaction. Taxpayers must calculate the income from transactions of property based on the transaction price minus the original cost and necessary expenses, and report it as their income. Virtual currencies are treated as a type of property; gains from their sale or exchange are therefore taxable as income under the Income Tax Act.” — National Taxation Bureau, Ministry of Finance, Taiwan
