No tax rule written for crypto

The sources below set no tax rule of their own for crypto. Gains are taxed, or not, under the general law the page names; where the authority publishes guidance or a reporting form, the page says so.

The only page located on the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore website that addresses digital tokens is corporate income tax guidance about businesses, not a page addressed to individual investors. That page states that capital gains are not taxable, and that businesses which accept digital tokens for remuneration or revenue or which trade in digital tokens are subject to normal income tax rules. It states no rule for a private individual's personal disposal of bitcoin.

Regime: No crypto-specific rule
Tax authority: Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore
