The Ministry of Finance, Government of India, is expected to issue a notification about the crypto tax in June. Exemptions could include hospitals that use Blockchain technology, and reward points on digital bank cards. So far, the government has rejected calls to eliminate the 1 per cent TDS on crypto transactions, according to a report in The Economic Times.
Under the Finance Act, 2022, the Ministry of Finance had imposed a 30 per cent tax bracket on crypto transactions, as well as a 1 per cent TDS on transfers of digital assets.
The TDS, limited to Rs 50,000, has to be paid irrespective of profits or losses earned during crypto transactions, making it significant to be disclosed during filing of the annual income tax return. As per the new guidelines, cryptocurrency received as gifts will also be taxed just like any other asset.
