  In New Zealand, cryptocurrencies are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any gains made from buying and selling cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains tax. On the other hand, in the USA, the IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property as well, but they are also considered as virtual currencies. This means that cryptocurrencies are subject to both capital gains tax and income tax, depending on the nature of the transaction. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with the specific regulations in each country.
