Crypto is world's biggest reality of the day and getting storming adoption around the globe. Hundreds of projects with successful launch along with stable players like BTC , BCH and Ethereum. Although it is risky but highly decentralised technology base digital currency deepening his paws in world.
Pakistan is 3rd high populated country in Asia and has 47% young guns who has great interest in Crypto. Especially in Corona days it get wings and now every one talking about it. If I see just couple of years back the behaviour of government treasury officialls were so rude and brutal towards Crypto but ice melting now
15% Tax scheme.
A high level meeting held yesterday in SBP where PTA , FBR and FIA also join in conversation. The glamorous and happy news are all stakeholders agreed on to change the regulatios and laws accordingly to make legalisation of Crypto in the country and initially going to imposing 15% tax on Crypto trade. The news.bitcoin.com also verified this progress earlier this week.
According to simple calculations Pakistan can generate $90 millions from this tax annually which will be increased in both sides later. May go to 20% or 30% as India and other countries doing , also users , merchants and exchanges will grow by time which will fill the treasure more over.
The official press release of the meeting also hinting that very soon they are fulfilling the order of Sindh High court in which they ordered to do so. Soon after the announcement the Crypto enthusiastic people gain a welcome addition.

FBR has concerns over mechanism of collections the tax but hopefully they will comes up to solutions. We have lot of uncertainty in political field as no permanent government we have yet. So may it delay little further but once SBP approved it , further will be easy to get it.
