Perlindungan Hukum dan Pengenaan Pajak Bagi Investor Cryptocurrency di Indonesia

Abstract

The significant increase in crypto investment in Indonesia is very high. This is indicated by the increase in crypto transactions, especially bitcoin and the increasing number of member investors in Indodax as one of the crypto transaction platforms in Indonesia. However, this increase is not supported by laws and regulations that can protect investors against their funds that have been deposited on a crypto transaction platform due to platform errors or due to fraud that is rampant in the cryptocurrency world. The fairly high increase in investment has also attracted the attention of the Indonesian government in collecting income taxes for investors in the crypto world which can increase the government's coffers of wealth destined for national development. However, there is also no regulation that regulates how much and how the income tax will be imposed. imposed on investors. So tthe problem arises as to how legal protection is for crypto currency investors in Indonesia and how income taxes can be imposed on crypto investors. The problem approach used in this research is the statutory approach, and the conceptual approach. Legal protection for CryptoCurrency investors is in the form of supervision from BAPPEBTI, supervision from the Investment Supervisory Task Force, security protection from crypto asset market managers and law protection form UU ITE. The imposition of crypto taxes can be imposed as well as the final share income tax, which is 0.1% of the gross amount of crypto asset sales transactions.
