Although FAQs are for information purposes and do not have legal sanctity, law ministry&#8217;s opinion is being sought to ensure that there is no loophole,&#8221; the official told PTI.<\/p>\n<p> The DEA, Revenue Department and the Reserve Bank are working to ensure that the taxation aspect is clear both for field tax offices as well as those who deal with cryptocurrencies and other virtual digital assets.\u00a0  \t The 2022-23 Budget has brought in clarity with regard to levy of income tax on crypto assets. From April 1, a 30 per cent income tax plus cess and surcharges will be levied on such transactions in the same manner as the tax law treats winnings from horse races or other speculative transactions.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_5\" id=\"trade-2157159006\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_2_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7925020301\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> The Budget 2022-23 also proposed a 1 per cent TDS (tax deducted at source) on payments towards virtual currencies beyond Rs 10,000 in a year and taxation of such gifts in the hands of the recipient.<\/p>\n<p> The threshold limit for TDS would be Rs 50,000 a year for specified persons, which include individuals\/HUFs who are required to get their accounts audited under the I-T Act.<\/p>\n<p> The provisions related to 1 per cent TDS will come into effect from July 1, 2022, while the gains will be taxed effective April 1.<\/p>\n<p> From the GST perspective, the FAQ is likely to provide clarity on whether cryptocurrency is goods or service.<\/p>\n<p> Currently, 18 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied only on service provided by crypto exchanges and it is categorised as financial services.<\/p>\n<p> The GST law does not clearly mention classification of cryptocurrency.
