Is there really a 0% crypto tax country?

Several. UAE, Singapore, and Cayman are 0% on personal capital gains including crypto. But residency triggers and exit-tax rules from your previous jurisdiction can wipe out the saving if not planned in advance.

Do you track staking and DeFi separately?

Not as separate categories. Heed carries one headline crypto rate per country, with the sourced nuance in the rate text. Staking, mining and DeFi are often treated differently from spot trading, so check the official source for your activity.

What about CARF and DAC8?

We track the implementation of the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the EU's DAC8 directive across all member jurisdictions, with alerts as countries opt in or set start dates.

Can I see all crypto changes in one feed?

Yes. Filter the Change Feed by 'Crypto' and you get every crypto-related update across the jurisdictions Heed monitors, ranked by relevance to your profile.

USE CASE · CRYPTO TAX

Crypto tax, jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

Crypto is the asset class that gets reclassified the most. One year it is property, the next it is financial income, the year after it is taxed at a brand-new flat rate. Heed tracks crypto rules across multiple jurisdictions and tells you when we publish a verified change.

The problem

Where it goes wrong.

01
Crypto regulation moves fast. Italy removed its €2,000 exemption and raised its rate to 33% from 2026, India taxes gains at a 30% flat rate, the EU is layering DAC8 on top.
02
Staking, mining, airdrops, and DeFi yield are taxed differently in almost every jurisdiction, and most tax software only handles 'spot price at sale'.
03
Picking a 'crypto-friendly' jurisdiction without checking residency triggers, exit tax, or CRS reporting can backfire badly.
