How to buy Cosmos in Switzerland
Is ATOM a good investment in Switzerland?
Cosmos, which is introduced as "Blockchain Internet", tries to bring different blockchains together in one unit and from the very beginning solve several main problems that plague this technology. ATOM is the core cryptocurrency on top of the Cosmos platform, which is designed to facilitate communication, scaling and collaboration between independent blockchains. The projects launched in the Cosmos network allow the exchange of their tokens as well.
In addition, Cosmos presents itself as a set of tools, with its modular and adaptable features, available to developers who are ready to start working on the decentralization of the Internet and related financial infrastructure. In other words, Cosmos, known by its founding team as the Internet of Blockchain, aims to create a cryptographic network united by open-source tools to simplify transactions between them. It is this focus on customization and interoperability that sets Cosmos apart from other projects.
What is Cosmos ?
The native staking token for Cosmos platform is called ATOM. This currency forms the foundation of the token economy of the Cosmos network. The ATOM symbol is widely and commonly used on exchanges in order to address the Cosmos currency. You can easily find information about this cryptocurrency by searching its symbol, ATOM.
Is Cosmos legal to buy in Switzerland
Switzerland is one of the most well-known banking and financial centers in the world. The country is progressive on the development of cryptocurrencies. In January 2018, Swiss Economy Minister Johann Schneider Ammann stated that he sought to make Switzerland a “crypto nation”. According to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Switzerland Federal Tax Administration (SFTA), cryptocurrencies and virtual currencies are legal and classified as assets or property.
Is Cosmos taxed in Switzerland
Yes. According to the established tax legislation defined by The Swiss Federal Tax Service (SFTA), cryptocurrencies are assets. This means that they are subject to Swiss wealth, income and capital gains taxes and must be declared in annual tax returns. The mentioned tax legislation treats crypto assets similar to stocks, bonds and real estate in Switzerland. According to the mentioned document above, if you are a private crypto investor, your crypto profits will be completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax. This is as long as you fulfill these five criteria:
- transaction volumes should not exceed five times the original capital
- holding period of crypto assets should be six months or more
- capital gains should be less than 50% of overall taxable income
- minimal usage of third-party financing (buy assets with your money)
- derivatives only used as a hedging tool
Note that as stated by the tax legislation document, if you violate two or more criteria, chances are that you may not be considered a private investor but a self-employed trader instead. If you are not sure that you will be considered a private investor or a self-employed trader, we recommend consulting a tax professional in Switzerland or the SFTA directly.
According to the tax legislation document, private investors don’t have to pay tax on their trading profits, but you might still need to pay Income Tax on cryptocurrency. Having your salary from a job being paid in a cryptocurrency, getting paid in crypto in exchange for services if you are a freelancer, or receiving crypto from activities such as mining will be considered income by the FTA.
