As Indian
authorities continue to be perfectly ambiguous over guidelines or regulations for cryptocurrency adopters and the industry respectively — bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are neither legal nor illegal, nor regulated
in India — the
country's official
taxation department is perfectly clear on its foray to collect taxes from individuals
in the
country.
All
in all, at a time when the Chinese government is pushing forward the development of the blockchain technology and industry, it's no doubt a bold effort for the
taxation authorities, one of the most important departments
in the
country, to experiment with using blockchain technology
in social tax collection and electronic invoice issuance.
