DeFi transactions are generally exempt from the tax, except in cases where users pay fees considered “valuable consideration.” These include protocol fees charged for operating or maintaining the platform.

The law takes effect on January 1, 2027. At the same time, the state tax authority will accept proposals until October 30.
