Do you have to pay tax to buy and sell bitcoin in China
although bitcoin still has great risks, after years of development, with the increase of its application population, application scenarios and application technology, no country or organization can completely eliminate it. If you can figure it out, it is likely that countries will generally accept bitcoin and embrace it
according to my personal judgment, bitcoin, after a period of continuous development, is likely to become a world currency in the future, which can play the role of electronic gold and become the target of the value of other sovereign currencies. From this perspective, bitcoin can be used as a means of asset preservation in the future when inflation is inevitable
Unfortunately, bitcoin is no longer tradable in mainland China. Bitcoin China announced that it will stop all trading business on September 30, 2017

legal status of bitcoin in China
in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty
the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate< br />
Bitcoin has become the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Some countries allow the transaction of bitcoin, but some countries prohibit it. China belongs to the latter. Why does China shut down bitcoin trading? Let's analyze this problem today
bitcoin does not have the function of trading medium in China, so it can not be called currency. At the same time, bitcoin has the function of storing value and has certain investment value. However, the rapid rise of the current price has formed speculative anticipation and may form a bubble in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures ahead of time, which can also restrain some illegal acts of laundering money and transferring assets through bitcoin. p>
Radar currency is a kind of virtual currency, which does not have the value of real currency and has high risk, so it should not be invested
in 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the risks of token issuance and financing, which clearly pointed out that the token or "virtual currency" used in token issuance and financing is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and does not have the same legal status as currency, It cannot and should not be used as currency in the market
at the same time, the announcement also pointed out that illegal selling and circulation, raising so-called "virtual currency" from investors, such as bitcoin and Ethernet, is essentially an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, which is suspected of illegal selling token bills, issuing securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid selling and other illegal criminal activities

the value of real currency or something with monetary attribute is guaranteed from two aspects: one is the strong state power guarantee and endorsement, the other is the general public use and irreplaceable. Therefore, virtual currency is obviously not real currency<
after the regulatory authorities have made clear their attitude, although bitcoin China, huocoin.com and other "virtual currency" operators have successively taken restrictive measures on the trading platform, the risk of "virtual currency" speculation still deserves high vigilance
in response, the China Internet Finance Association also said in the "tips on preventing the risks of bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies ", that bitcoin and other so-called" virtual currencies "lack a clear value basis and are increasingly becoming tools for money laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling, illegal fund-raising and other criminal activities
investors participate in speculation through the "virtual currency" trading platform, and face the risk of price fluctuation, security risk, platform technology risk, etc., which need to be borne by investors themselves
now trading is purchased through the non regulatory exchange platform, so there is no need to pay tax for the time being
there is no standard and no place to pay
