Cryptocurrency is legal in Finland and well-regulated by the FIN-FSA. Crypto gains are taxed as capital income at 30% (34% for gains exceeding €30,000). Finland is one of few EU countries that has actively enforced tax compliance on crypto through data requests to exchanges.

India legalized crypto taxation in the 2022 Union Budget, imposing a flat 30% tax on all crypto gains with no deductions for losses. A 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on crypto transactions above thresholds also applies. The Supreme Court struck down the RBI's 2018 banking ban in 2020, and India is now developing a broader regulatory framework.
