Who pays crypto tax?

Most countries tax crypto when you dispose of it or receive it as income. What counts as a taxable event depends on local rules, but the list below covers the common triggers.

  • Selling crypto for fiat (e.g., selling BTC for GBP/USD).
  • Swapping one token for another (often a disposal even without cashing out).
  • Spending crypto on goods/services (treated like selling the crypto at its fair market value).
  • Staking/mining rewards and airdrops (typically income when received at FMV).
  • Getting paid in crypto for work/services (income when received; later disposal may trigger capital gains/losses).
  • Gifts/transfers can be taxable in some jurisdictions (rules vary).

Keep detailed records (dates, amounts, fair market values, fees). See country sections below for quick summaries and official sources.
