thanks for the article, very good, in my opinion this can only happen if everyone is working in bitcoin, and no more doing transaction in bank. but this is impossible because before this happens, surely the government has moved to anticipate this until it happens, because if this happens then a country that has no income from taxes, then the country will be chaos
There can be several scenarios. The government can tax the Bitcoins, when they are being converted to fiat. Also, the government can tax the exchanges as well as the users. The authorities can also implement a GST/VAT targeting services such as Bitpay and Coinbase.
In short, the government may lose income tax, but it will gain in terms of GST/VAT.
We cannot escape from income tax. Indirectly, we will be still paying it to the government and honestly, I think it is also necessary for the survival of a country.
We are living in our states and we need to save money for it so that in case of any bad time, there won't be financial crisis. However, no government can place direct tax on bitcoins. Our bitcoins are not deducted but our salaries do.
