# Tax Considerations

## Tax Considerations (High-Level)

(Non-advice; consult your tax advisor)

Tokenised equity is typically treated like:

* Early-stage equity
* Securitised notes
* Alternative assets

Depending on your country, tax events may occur when:

* Tokens are sold
* Tokens appreciate
* Exit proceeds are distributed

TheAngel will provide tax statements where needed.
