TechFlow News, July 5, according to Cointelegraph, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) released a draft guide on crypto asset taxation, clarifying relevant tax treatment based on the current "Income Tax Act" and capital gains tax rules. The draft points out that most crypto activities such as trading, exchanging, and spending are considered "disposal events", which may trigger tax events; crypto assets are classified as intangible assets, rather than legal tender or foreign currency; donations tax rate is 20%-25%. Taxpayer intent is the key basis for determining whether they belong to traders or long-term investors. According to SARS 2024 data, at least 5.8 million residents in South Africa hold crypto assets. The draft is now open for public comment, with a deadline of August 31.
