Good day! I'm curious to know if cryptocurrency is taxed when one decides to cash out. Specifically, do I need to pay taxes on the profits I've made from buying and selling cryptocurrencies, or is it only taxed when I withdraw my funds into my bank account? Additionally, are there any specific rules or regulations that vary from country to country regarding the taxation of cryptocurrency? Thank you for your time and expertise on this matter.

Long-term gains, held for more than a year, are subject to a more favorable tax rate, usually lower than that for short-term gains. It's essential to keep accurate records of acquisition and disposal dates to determine the holding period.

When Bitcoin is sold for cash on an exchange, the realized value is compared to the original purchase price. If the value has increased, the owner will owe taxes on the difference, known as a capital gain.

This tax obligation applies not only to cash transactions but also to the use of Bitcoin for purchasing goods and services or trading it for another cryptocurrency.

The tax rate on the capital gain depends on the duration of ownership. Short-term gains, typically held for less than a year, are taxed at the same rate as ordinary income.
