Crypto markets are not yet fully regulated, and many countries are still working on their crypto laws. On the other hand, governments focusing on regulations usually prioritize taxes. Biden has been taking steps to impose crypto taxes this year, but these proposals were not accepted during the debt ceiling law.
Crypto Tax Rules
According to the latest report shared by WSJ, the US Treasury Department has proposed new tax rules for cryptocurrencies. The Biden administration has repeatedly emphasized the tax potential of cryptocurrencies and proposed billions of dollars worth of tax regulations. The IRS has made it mandatory to report crypto investments this year. However, despite the obligation, taxpayers are providing incomplete reports, leading to another requirement.
According to the newly proposed rules, crypto platforms will be required to report to the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service of the US. This way, investors’ transactions on centralized exchanges will be directly taxed.
On the other hand, Turkey has not yet taken any steps regarding crypto taxation. Recent statements suggest that there will be no retrospective taxation and that the regulation will soon be presented to the parliament. Some experts had previously announced that tax rules would be clarified in Turkey by the end of the year.
