Taxes on gains made on trading will depend on the tax laws applicable to you. When I say tax laws applicable to you, it has a specific meaning. It can be the laws of the country of which you are tax resident of, the country you are currently residing in. In addition to this, the taxation laws applicable to the country in which you make a gain will also impact the tax cost on the gains; the country in which the exchange is located, or where the buyer is located.
