  In New Zealand, digital assets are subject to capital gains tax (CGT) when they are sold or exchanged for other assets. The tax rate depends on the individual's income tax bracket. In the USA, digital assets are also subject to capital gains tax, but the tax rate varies depending on the holding period. If the assets are held for less than a year, they are subject to short-term capital gains tax, which is the same as the individual's income tax rate. If the assets are held for more than a year, they are subject to long-term capital gains tax, which has a lower tax rate.

  When it comes to taxes on digital assets, New Zealand and the USA have different approaches. In New Zealand, digital assets are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any gains made from selling or exchanging digital assets are subject to capital gains tax. In the USA, digital assets are also subject to capital gains tax, but the tax rate depends on the holding period. If the assets are held for less than a year, they are subject to short-term capital gains tax, which is the same as the individual's income tax rate. If the assets are held for more than a year, they are subject to long-term capital gains tax, which has a lower tax rate.
