Centre may impose 18% GST on bitcoin trading

Currently, bitcoin, as a medium of payment, has neither been authorised nor been regulated by any central authority in India

The Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB), an arm of the union finance ministry has put forward a proposal to impose 18 per cent GST on bitcoin transactions. The CEIB told the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) that government could potentially gain Rs 7,200 crore annually on bitcoin trading.

Early this month, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested a Gujarat-based cryptocurrency trader in connection with a money-laundering probe linked to an online betting racket with Chinese operators. As per media reports, the scam was estimated to be worth Rs 1,000 crore and involved cryptocurrency trading through multiple exchanges.
