In Austria, cryptocurrency is accepted as an intangible asset. According to Global Legal Insight website, there is no specific regulation against buying or trading crypto in this country. Therefore, it is considered legal.

Crypto tax laws were reformed on March 1, 2022. Previously, crypto owners in Austria only had to pay income tax on short-term crypto gains. This means that if they sold, spent or traded the cryptocurrency in less than a year, they would have to pay income tax. But if they kept this digital currency for more than a year, even if they made a profit by selling it, they would not pay any tax. New laws changed this situation. From now on, all crypto transactions will be subject to a 27.5% tax rate, whether the crypto owner sells it for less than a year or holds it for a long time. However, the new rules only apply to coins purchased after February 28, 2021. Any digital currency purchased before this date will be operated with the previous rules.

THETA tokens are used on the Theta Network as a governance token. The owners can use this coin to vote or do different operations on this network.
