So I completed KYC verification on an exchange before heading overseas—does that lock me into tax obligations regardless of where I am? It's a genuine question that's been bugging me 😅

NGL, KYC does not equal tax binding. People abroad can still do it; it mainly depends on your exchange registration location and local tax laws... Don't overthink this.

KYC is just KYC, and taxation is taxation. Can these two be linked together? 🤔

Haha, KYC isn't a contract. Don't worry, if you need to pay taxes, you still have to pay them regardless of where you are.

KYC, to be honest, is just an exchange's self-protection; it has little direct relation to the tax authorities... What truly locks you out is your own wallet address, which is the permanent on-chain ID.

KYC is just identity verification, not a sell-out... As for taxes, it still depends on where you are, not what the exchange says.

Nah man, KYC is just KYC, transaction records are the real headache... Wherever people are, the tax bureau can track them down, that's a major flaw.

KYC really isn't that big of a deal; it's just that the exchange has a record. Tax issues depend on where you are, as each country's rules are different, brother.

KYC is just the exchange's identity verification, it doesn't directly relate to the tax authorities... It mainly depends on the tax laws of your country; it's not decided by the exchange.
