Do you think cryptocurrency should be taxable by the government?

 

[Zellephant]

Government should only be allowed to charge for services it provides - at a reasonable and market related rate. Everything else is theft, no matter how you look at it.

 

[saor]

I don't really care if it's taxed. But make the damn process easier. I've got chunks of crypto I just cba to cash out because I don't have the energy to figure out the tax situation.

Agreed.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

No, i pretty much don't think ANYTHING should be taxable by government, especially a bunch of corrupt gangsters posing as a government

Tax is theft

 

[porchrat]

If it can tax capital gains on a property or investments then crypto logically follows.

Better to just do away with all of it though honestly.

Anyone living in SA should contribute to the appropriate cost of government - the fairest systems are generally based (at least partly) on income received. Do not see any justification to treating profits from crypto differently from other income.

Tax in SA is just a income stream for the anc and their cadres. The tax payer receives almost no benefit from paying tax.

Why?

Why is the fairest system not one based on paying proportionally based on the services one recieved? Hell, i dont even mind paying proportionally more, within reason, for my services, in order to subsidise services for the real, indigent classes who need it - but there is nothing just about taxing me based on my income, irrespective of the services i receive from government, then taxing me again by ming me have to pay for those services when I actually need them, or charging me vat when I have to pay a private company to provide the services I already paid the government for but they can’t provide - and then again charging me tax on top of all that because I dared make smart investment choices with my private, post tax capital.

If they see it as not being money how the heck can they tax it?

 

[Bigjay84]

The parasite socialists keep running out of money, they always looking for more cash

 

[My_King]

No

Why did we even come up with a thing such a "TAX"

Because human nature is now as it was back in ancient times... Steal from others and take all the credit and all that.

Tax it if it's an income, ok, but as a straight currency movement of sorts like they're doing us a favour allowing it - get lost.
