- UK → Capital Gains Tax for disposals; Income Tax on rewards and airdrops
- India → 30% flat tax on crypto gains; 1% TDS on transactions
- EU → Rules vary by country, but many align with capital gains taxation

## Example Scenarios

- Bought 1 ETH at $1,500 on Jan 10, 2024
- Sold for $2,000 on Nov 10, 2024
- Fees: $30
- Gain = $2,000 − $1,500 − $30 = $470 → taxed as short-term capital gain
