OKCoin reminds all customers of your responsibility to pay applicable taxes on digital asset trading. Please note that OKCoin does not provide tax advice.

Do I have to pay crypto taxes?
Countries differ on how digital assets transactions and holdings are taxed and how they view digital assets in general (e.g. as money, as property, as a commodity, etc). Please consult a local accountant, tax lawyer, and/or government official for your tax reporting obligations at your home jurisdiction.
If you are a U.S customer, you are required to report gains and losses on each transaction or when you earn digital assets, even if the gain or loss is not material. The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) holds you responsible for reporting all income and transactions whether you receive a tax form from a digital assets exchange or not. IRS has released guidelines for how to report and pay taxes relating to digital assets. You can read the guidelines from the official www.irs.gov website, including https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-14-21.pdf.
