In an effort to promote investment in digital assets and regulatory compliance, Thailand has implemented a 0% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency trading through authorized platforms till December 31, 2029. Trades on exchanges authorized by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission are exempt from taxation, although revenue from mining and staking will still be subject to taxation. The government hopes the regulation would support the country’s growing digital asset economy.
The new exemption only applies to profits from buying and selling cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on approved exchanges.
Thailand has been progressively establishing a more favourable regulatory framework for digital assets. The government eliminated the 7% value-added tax on cryptocurrency profits in 2024. Building on that strategy, the most recent ruling harmonizes capital gains on securities traded on the Thai stock market with the tax treatment of digital assets.
Despite the tax exemption, the government anticipates substantial economic gains from the larger digital asset sector. Officials predict that by boosting economic activity and improving regulatory compliance, the industry may generate around 1 billion baht in tax income annually.
Using authorized trading platforms is still a crucial prerequisite. Strict Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-money laundering, and cybersecurity requirements must be met by exchanges authorized by the Thai SEC in order to boost investor trust and lower the risks associated with unregulated operators.
🇹🇭 Thailand confirms 0% capital gains tax on Bitcoin & crypto. 👏
