What happened

Latvia's Parliament passed a new crypto taxation law following agreement from the Finance Ministry. The law taxes crypto withdrawals that exceed deposits, rather than taxing individual trades, and includes a one-time declaration mechanism. The government also plans to allow residents to use cryptocurrency to pay personal taxes as early as next year.
