London, United Kingdom, Tuesday, October 15th, 8:00 AM BST — Blockpit and Coincub have released the
Crypto Tax Report 2024, offering an overview of global cryptocurrency taxation trends. Global Tax Averages: Personal crypto tax rates average 11.12% for long-term gains and 17.3% for short-term gains worldwide, lower than the global average CGT of 19.6% on traditional investments. In countries offering long-term tax advantages, 52.86% of crypto gains are classified as short-term and taxed at higher rates, while 43.46% are classified as long-term and benefit from lower or zero tax rates. North America led with $2.04 billion in estimated crypto tax revenues in 2023, followed by Europe with $1.49 billion. Asia had $845.7 million in potential crypto tax, and South America, Africa, and Oceania did $254.1 million, $100.4 million, and $75.5 million, respectively. India imposes a flat 30% tax on crypto gains, potentially generating over $300 million in tax revenues last year, while Japan should have generated $231 million. The Middle East region, including countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye, continues to have zero personal income tax on cryptocurrency gains. Despite clear regulations, less than 2% of individual crypto investors actively comply with tax regulations. The report by Blockpit and Coincub reveals that this divergence in tax policies results from nations' strategic choices: some nations aim to attract crypto investment and innovation, while others focus on maximizing tax contributions from the crypto sector. It is worth acknowledging that being a "tax haven" does not necessarily mean a better experience for crypto investors and traders. Quote from Florian Wimmer, CEO & Co-Founder of Blockpit: “Our 2024 Crypto Tax Ranking exposes not just where crypto investors face lower taxes but also the looming compliance storm. With less than 2% of crypto traders aware of the topic, CARF will be a game-changer. We anticipate compliance rates could surge to 50% or higher as global enforcement intensifies.” CARF: Shifting Responsibility to Individuals The OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) mandates that Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) in 48 countries collect and report detailed crypto transaction data starting in 2026. This increases transparency and places greater responsibility on individual investors. For the first time, individuals will face scrutiny at a level traditionally reserved for financial institutions, raising questions about the future of crypto’s decentralized ethos. With CARF, global enforcement efforts will likely intensify, providing tax authorities with tools to identify and address non-compliance. The report by Blockpit and Coincub highlights the implications of CARF on investors and DASPs.
