The Initial Plan of 20% Tax
The taxation plan has been on the government’s agenda since the growth of cryptocurrencies in the country. The planning of a 20% tax was first introduced in January 2021. It should have been coming into effect in January 2022. However, it got delayed to January 2023. Now, there is another delay in the tax. The tax plan has gained attention from the crypto community since its announcement. Some lawmakers in the country have been opposing the new tax plan. They mentioned the need for solid regulation first for this to work effectively.
