  Income tax on cryptocurrency mining and capital gains tax on cryptocurrency trading are two different tax obligations. Income tax is applicable to mining, where the mined coins are considered as taxable income. The value of the mined coins at the time of receipt is used to determine the taxable amount. On the other hand, capital gains tax is applicable to trading. It is levied on the profit made from buying and selling cryptocurrencies. The tax rate for capital gains tax may vary depending on the holding period of the cryptocurrencies. It's important to keep accurate records of your mining and trading activities and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with the tax regulations in your country.
