I’m still wondering why an entity which presumably would be earning more would have to pay less tax in about 20% as opposed to individuals that would have to pay up to 50% on their profits from cryptocurrency investments.

Having to register a company might seem like it but, what if this is a trap? What if they just want to get enough registry and then, they go ahead to increase the rate. What happens then?

Mind you, any undeclared profit from crypto then would be breaking the law and they might find means to watch what goes into the company for diversions.

This is what is happening in Holland. Citizens have to declare their assets in "box 3" of their tax declaration.
Real estate can be a part of this. In a recent video I saw about an exit tax launched in Holland, it says that if you leave the country the government will assess your entire balance sheet including your real estate. Unrealized gains will be treated as realized when you leave. If you had bought a house for 250k in the year 2000 and it is worth 500k in 2025 (real estate typically takes 20 years to double in price) they will tax you on the "added value" of 250k. But there is no real added value because all other houses have also doubled in price. Your real estate only protected you from serious currency debasement, and the government falsely portrays it as if you gained value so they can steal from you.


That last part is very true. And although it may seem like putting BTC on your company balance sheet is doing the right thing in the short run, I think this is voluntarily putting your head under a government guillotine in the long run. What it accomplishes is that 1) all banks now have their eyes on you as an investor into something that threatens their business, and 2) now that governments know your assets, they are free to tax them to the percentage that they want. I also believe that it is only a matter of time before governments will launch a campaign against self custody "because terrorists use bitcoin" while in reality it is purely about them having 100% control over the market. And if you do not comply, they will threaten you in the most horrendous ways. Think of how truckers were unbanked when they protested against the covid measures.


I think so too.
Next week I have an advisory call with the best tax lawyer of my country, who only handles crypto cases.
I am very curious about his advice. I think he will strongly advise against decentralisation and trading anonymously without paying the predatory taxes.
Not long ago I spoke with an ex highschool classmate who made it as a banker. I always found him a snob.
We got to talk about crypto (which he absolutely hates) and he said that it's his authority at the bank to close bank accounts when crypto investors can not show a 100% accurate transaction history that explains where all their crypto currency comes from. He also said that guys who left the country for a tax friendlier alternative, are ambushed by banks using their homes as collaterals. Banks and governments are literally threatening crypto holders into giving up their privacy, by stealing their real estate.

To me it just proves that banks are organised criminal cartels.

The government knowing about all your transactions comes with you giving them the opportunity to know that if you plan to not get yourself involved with the government tasking trouble, you need to start up well during your accumulation process by avoiding anything that has to do with KYC before buying your crypto. Once you make the mistake of using centralized exchanges, moving your coin down to your self-custodial wallet can only help you gain full control of it to decide when to spend it, but your authorities will always crack down on you for your tax remittances.

Trading to a stablecoin won't do you any good; as long as the government already has your record from the regulated exchange you purchase your coin from, the best thing to do is register with the IRS and do proper reporting to avoid being penalized by your government.

That's just the sad reality, and it will be hard for the government to change from that mentality. As citizens of a country, there is nothing like privacy between you and your government; they just want to know everything about you, especially how your cash flows in and out. The crypto space that's supposed to be an anonymous place of holding and detaching your real asset from your identity is now considered to be a crime when the chain between how your coin was acquired is broken.

I see it's better to launch a company and pay tax accordingly what IRS asked.

If you want to avoid from government, make sure you've avoid them since the first time you receive money, if you link your money to your banks, they already know the amount you have. If you report lower than your earnings, it would be suspicious and could lead to investigation.

If you worried if your country will start to tax unrealized gains, you should declare it and make it private.

Create a company > declare your cryptos > sell it all > pay tax > cash out > start to buy cryptos by P2P with people in your country and pay them using cash.

Yeah, or doing it via a local vendor that would get you fiat for your BTC, without any third-party at all, decentralized or not.

A trade for a different crypto currency (such as USDT) is seen as purchasing that other token, which is a transaction.
Buying a golden necklace for your wife on november 7th of 2025. They want to know when you bought the BTC (let's say in 2021), calculate the price difference and tax you for it, on top of the BTC value of that necklace. First of all that requires loads of work for each purchase (calculating it, let alone declaring the difference and paying it) and secondly they couldn't even do it if they wanted to.

If Albert is a drug kingpin with 120 BTC and he wants to buy a golden bar from his jeweler for 1 BTC, it's not up to the jeweler to find out if the BTC he received was clean. For what price Albert bought it and how much tax Albert owes to the government. Albert probably used a mixer, or Monero to erase these traces. But that doesn't mean he can't buy the golden necklace with BTC.

I'm not sure what you consider as a transaction. I mean swapping and purchasing goods and services.
Moving from one wallet to another I do not consider a transaction. That is a transfer.

I won't suggest all your crypto holdings at this point when you got plans to move out of your country, you just need to try cash out as soon as possible whether it's tax free or the necessary tax paid then buy bitcoin where KYC isn't mandatory then move to cold storage.

Is it ethical to file a false complaint? That is up to you.

If you are trying to registering your company within European union jurisdiction or in US, tax will be applicable to you. If you are going that Route, I would suggest you to look for crypto tax heavens like UAE, Singapore, Panama etc. you can do your own research on these countries.

However if your country requires you to pay taxes even if you are doing business elsewhere, then obviously it doesn't make sense! But if you really hold a significant amount of cryptocurrency, you better consult with a tax lawyer.

He is about to register a company only for tax purposes, he isn't running any company and individuals are taxed at 50% tax rate in his country while compnaies are at 20% that is why he wanted suggestions but registering a company would require reporting all of his assets so in future the government wants 50% taxes then he will have no other choice.

Currently UAE is where people who wants to move for tax purposes but it's mostly working for the super rich, not for an average individual.
