10% Withholding Tax on Crypto GainsAccording to the proposal, crypto platforms governed by the Capital Markets Law of Turkey are required to tax gain with a 10% level imposed. The tax will coincide quarterly either to an individual or a firm resident or a non-resident. Exempt status or existing tax positions will not affect the withholding requirement.
Investors will not need to file separate annual declarations for income already subject to withholding on regulated platforms. The crypto trades that are conducted outside licensed platforms should however be reported in an annual income tax filing. C crypto trading only allows use of losses against gains of the same kind of asset within the same calendar year.
0.03% Transaction Tax on Sales and TransfersThe bill also provides a crypto transaction tax of 0.03%.
This tax is imposed on sales or transfer of cryptos that are executed via crypto service providers. Tax base is the value of the sale or the fair market value of the same at the time of transfer. No deductions for expenses or other taxes will be allowed when calculating the base.
Service providers will be responsible for declaring and paying this tax by the 15th day of the following month. They must submit returns to the relevant tax office and complete payment within the same period.

Presidential Authority to Adjust RatesThe president will have the authority to reduce the 10% withholding rate to zero or increase it up to 20%. Adoptions may range by the type of asset, time of holding, date of issue, issuer or the type of wallet. The nitty -gritty rules will be put down by the Treasury and Finance Ministry, and may implicate intermediaries as co-liable in case of no payment of taxes.
FIFO Method and Platform Reporting RulesWhen the investors purchase the same crypto asset on varying dates and sell not all, the first-in, first-out (FIFO) rule will be used to calculate tax based on the cost basis. Charges and tax on selling and purchasing are included in the cost.
Platforms would be required to make more than one trade based on the same type of asset in a withholding period in a single calculation. They also have to report the withheld taxes within the 26th day of the next month.
