I'm curious about the tax implications of cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong. Could you clarify whether or not crypto transactions are taxable in Hong Kong? It's important for me to understand the financial regulations surrounding this emerging asset class. Could you also elaborate on any specific tax rules or exemptions that might apply to crypto holdings and transactions in Hong Kong? This information would greatly assist me in making informed decisions about my financial portfolio.
