In 2023, India will continue to apply its rigorous crypto tax regulations.

The biggest democracy in the world imposed onerous taxes on cryptocurrency transactions last year: a 30% profit tax and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on all transactions. The year turned out to be what the industry had predicted would be a “period of suffering.”

In the nine months following the announcement, Indians transferred more than $3.8 billion in trading volume from domestic to overseas crypto exchanges, and interest in cryptocurrencies fell precipitously. Crypto trading volumes fell almost immediately.

While many people closely involved in the regulation of cryptocurrencies had publicly expressed their optimism for a tax cut, they had privately believed it was unlikely.

The industry’s top demand and the consensus among policy think tanks was to lower the TDS to 0.01%, or at the very least, 0.1%.
