What applies, and when
- On any disposal
- There are no crypto-specific provisions in the income tax law. Individuals resident in Mexico are liable to income tax on all of their income whatever the location of its source, so crypto gains are taxed under the general rules for the disposal of property or for other income.
- Caveat
- Because the general rules apply, the charge follows the taxpayer's position on the ordinary income scale and there is no separate crypto rate or holding period.
