If is large trading company in that country they're entitled to pay tax but a process whereby its the investors of bitcoin who purchase and hold for long-term, neither short-term, from my own understanding government of your Country is not supposed to demand tax on them, because they are not occupying any government spac, a government only have the right to ask for tax when what you are doing on their country is centralized, secondl, if I may ask what radar did have to dictate someone that has bitcoin.

For us crypto users it would look not reasonable at all, but we don’t have the control on what the government can do to all crypto owners and users. They can impose taxes all they want, that’s how unfair the government looks like, that even acceptance and crypto adoption are still hard for them to do. But when it comes to declining in paying our crypto taxes, they give immediate action on that. Sad reality which is not only happening in a single country, but even to most of the countries as well.

Its just the same with the POGO companies and other gambling institution to operate because they are the one who have the biggest profits and to make operate they need to have the license and a tax at the same time so the government or the county itself agree they establish a business. Its like the basic concept are you willing others operate into your land without paying anything?, for sure no. Even not crypto related they are offering a taxes for business.

In other way round if we can't beat the government we will be left with no other option than to join them and that's is conformity,  not every can have all it takes to move to other country or environment were we can get what we want and how we want it,  as for voting, the manipulation in some political system can not over emphasis, your vote may not count and where your vote doesn't count the election becomes selection so you see this are just easy for everyone at the same time.

It should be so but each country has its own regulations in regulating the tax system that is applied and if we consider it unreasonable, then what can be done in such a condition. My country imposes tax on crypto and I can't say it is unreasonable because even if I said so there would be no effect that could be done. If we want to be honest we hope that there is no tax imposed on crypto but the government knows there are many benefits in it so there needs to be tax.

People just aren’t used to it yet, but eventually, they’ll understand that taxes are the lifeblood of a country. We can’t completely evade them, but if we know how to manage our accounting records properly, we can find ways to minimize them. They say tax evasion is illegal, but tax avoidance is legal - so the key is figuring out how to legally avoid paying more than necessary. It’s definitely possible.

it’s understandable if the government wants to take advantage of traders and cryptocurrencies but the thing is they should at least impose laws that are also beneficial to traders as well and not impose laws that are just harmful and detrimental to the community because it does nothing but make the traders want to hide their activities and not let the government know what they are doing

If they have that physical offices then they would really be needing up to comply and they will really be that needing to get in line with government regulations and they will really be needing up to pay up some taxes but if we do speak about self claimed about having  that profit making then i doubt that you will be paying up taxes. We do even having that issue about with Binance with other local player on having that trying out to be blocked.

Just In: CZ Claims a ‘Local Player’ Was Blocking Binance From Securing License in the Philippines

This do really shows that if they cant be able to tax up Binance then they would really be that trying out to block it out as much as possible and with some local player too on which they will really be that having the advantage since they are really that complying on what the government been asking or getting with that regulation. Taxes is always been that the government would really be wanting.

I don't think Philippine is the only country that doesn't have a specified law for crypto and yet tax her people. In US, crypto isn't recognized as a legal tender but as a commodity which is taxable under the security exchange commission law, you are bound to pay tax because you are making profit from it and what I see they does is they just recognized crypto earning like the laws of stocks and foreign investments, it's not like there is a new law for it and that's what I believe Philippines are doing.

To OP, the government doesn't have to recognized Bitcoin or crypto as a legal tender, it's not like what you are doing is illegal, it's practically legal and your right to it and because you earn from it, tax is unavoidable because that's how the world works in this system of government. Hopefully, in the future there is going to be a law that protect Bitcoin investors and recognized laws that guide everyone in crypto from different countries.

I think what is left for the government is to openly acceptable Bitcoin and of course the US has taken that move (reserved funds) and I believe other countries and nation would also take that same steps as well. If they are making things extremely difficult for traders and want to also taxed traders or investors is something that is not legal to me, but with open acceptance and also allowing people to trade and involve in transaction without any form of restrictions makes it more legal and taxable than not allowing them and still impose taxations.
