Guides
- Staking for Beginners: Rewards, Risks, and Where It's Allowed
Staking is committing cryptocurrency to help secure a proof-of-stake blockchain in exchange for newly issued rewards, and the three questions that decide whether it suits you are who holds the coins while they are staked, how long it takes to get them back, and whether the service you want is offered where you live.
- Crypto Tax in Australia: CGT, Records, and the ATO
In Australia the Australian Taxation Office treats a crypto asset as a capital gains tax asset, so disposing of it by selling, swapping, or spending it is a CGT event, while tokens you receive from activities such as staking are treated as income when you receive them.
- Crypto Tax in Germany: The One-Year Rule and Everything Around It
Germany taxes privately held crypto as a private sale transaction under section 23 of the Einkommensteuergesetz, which means a gain is taxable only where less than one year passed between acquisition and disposal, and even then stays free of tax if your total private sale gains for the calendar year came to less than 1,000 euros.
