The Czech Republic taxes crypto gains as 'other income' under the Income Tax Act. For individuals, there is a flat 15% income tax rate (23% on income exceeding CZK 1,935,552). Since 2025, a new exemption applies: crypto held for more than 3 years is exempt from tax, and gains under CZK 100,000 per year are also exempt. Crypto-to-crypto trades are generally considered taxable events. Social and health insurance contributions may also apply if crypto income exceeds certain thresholds.

The ATO (Australian Taxation Office) treats cryptocurrency as a CGT asset. Capital gains rules apply on disposal. A 50% CGT discount is available for assets held over 12 months. The ATO is very active in crypto enforcement — they receive data from exchanges and have sent letters to hundreds of thousands of Australians about unreported crypto gains.
The CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) treats cryptocurrency as a commodity, and gains from disposing of it are generally treated as capital gains (50% inclusion rate) or business income (100% inclusion) depending on the facts. If you're a frequent trader trading as a business, 100% of gains are taxable. Most individual investors get the 50% capital gains inclusion rate.
Japan's National Tax Agency classifies cryptocurrency gains as 'miscellaneous income', subject to progressive income tax rates up to 55% (including local taxes). This is one of the highest crypto tax rates globally. Japan has been working on proposals to reduce crypto tax rates, particularly for long-term holdings, but as of 2024 the high rates remain in effect.
Singapore has no capital gains tax, making it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for cryptocurrency investors. However, if cryptocurrency trading constitutes a trade or business, the gains are taxable as income at corporate or personal income tax rates. The IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) determines this based on the 'badges of trade' — frequency, volume, and intention.
