The Finance Minister has shed some insight on her Union Budget decision to tax earnings from digital asset transactions at 30 percent by distinguishing between digital assets, which include the “crypto world,” and digital currency, which only the central bank can issue.
According to NDTV, the FM said, “Let’s be clear: we’re not taxing currency that hasn’t yet been issued.” And that provision has now been provided, and the money will be issued under the name of the digital rupee. The Reserve Bank is the one who issues digital money. Everything else, under the name of digital whatever, is a collection of materials made by humans.”
At a time when cryptocurrencies are unregulated, observers have repeatedly pointed out the lack of clarity in taxing digital assets. She stated that crypto becomes or is a currency only when it is issued by the central bank. Anything outside of that is referred to as a cryptocurrency, but it is not a currency.
Digital currency, and all other digital assets issued by RBI will be considered presumed assets. We’ll have to wait a while to learn the precise name of the digital money issued by the RBI. Whatever assets are developed by humans, everything outside of it is in the name of digital.
