Turkey Proposes Crypto Taxation Framework Targeting Transactions and Capital Gains
Turkey's ruling AK Party has submitted legislation to tax cryptocurrency transactions and capital gains, marking a significant shift in the country's approach to digital assets. The bill introduces a 0.03% transaction tax on crypto platform activity while exempting these transactions from VAT.
The proposed framework treats crypto-derived income as capital gains, requiring monthly tax payments from service providers. This move comes as Turkey seeks to regulate its rapidly growing crypto market while maintaining its position as a regional hub for digital asset adoption.
