An item from Tuesday from Indonesia (via Reuters) … gotta say this seems like a nothing burger? 

Neilmaldrin Noor, a spokesman at Indonesia’s tax office

  • “It is important to know that… if there is a profit or capital gain generated from a transaction, the profit is an object of income tax”
  • “So the tax payer who receives capital gain has to pay the tax and report it”

Anyways … BTC update:
