Could you please elaborate on the tax implications of airdrops? I've heard conflicting opinions about whether or not they are taxed. Is there a clear consensus in the crypto and finance community about this matter? Do airdrops fall under a specific category of taxable events? If so, how are they taxed, and what are the relevant factors that determine the tax liability? Also, are there any exemptions or special considerations that apply to airdrops? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this issue.

The taxable gain is determined by calculating the difference between the market value of the asset at the time of its disposal and the market value at the time of receipt.

This calculation ensures that only the increase in value is taxed, not the original cost or any subsequent decreases.

These gains are taxable under Capital Gains Tax regulations, which apply to increases in the value of assets sold.
