Additionally, Sapo reported that Medina noted that it doesn’t make sense for an asset that creates capital gains to not be taxed.
“There cannot be gaps that cause there to be capital gains in relation to the transaction of assets that do not have a tax.” It appears that Medina will not impose a stifling rate of taxation on crypto gains. He explained that it is important to create and implement a system that makes taxation “adequate,” but which does not “end up reducing revenue to zero, which is contrary, in fact, to the objective for which it exists.”
