Book excerpt: The emergence of crypto assets has required taxation authorities worldwide to develop unprecedented policies and compelled tax lawyers to apply existing laws in new ways. This book – the only one to focus solely on the taxation of crypto assets – provides a detailed country-by-country analysis of how the tax law of thirty-nine countries may apply to this rapidly developing area, including different use cases and compliance and documentation requirements. Following an overview of the technology and key characteristics of crypto assets, as well as the key tax concepts and types of taxes that could apply to them, leading practitioners in each particular jurisdiction summarize the relevant tax law in that country. Fully explained are such aspects of crypto assets as the following and how they are interrelated: sales; exchanges; receipt as remuneration; forks; airdrops; mining; staking; initial coin offerings; security token offerings; and initial exchange offerings. Contributors describe how each jurisdiction applies income and capital gains taxation, value-added tax and sales tax, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, and gift, inheritance, estate and wealth taxes in the context of crypto assets. Reporting requirements and enforcement are also covered. Tax law, as it applies to crypto assets, is new and continues to evolve. This book will be welcomed as the premier resource for tax practitioners, government officials, advisors, investors, issuers, users of crypto assets, and taxation academics who are seeking informed awareness of the policy choices countries make in dealing with the taxation of this new technology. Tax lawyers dealing with crypto assets will have comprehensive practical guidance on how to comply with the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions.

Download or read book Cryptocurrency taxation written by Renan Do Nascimento Couto and published by Editora Letramento. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O livro tem como elemento central a análise de fatos geradores tributários decorrentes do uso de criptomoedas como ativos de pagamentos (principalmente) e investimentos (residualmente). A premissa perpassa pela necessidade de se descobrir quais as pessoas operam as criptomoedas, uma vez que a chave pública não identifica o CPF ou CNPJ do usuário. A falta de reconhecimento entre a pessoa física e o algoritmo que compõe a chave pública permite a circulação de riqueza sem a respectiva tributação. Desse modo, o presente livro pretende responder às seguintes indagações: como lidar com a circulação de riquezas quando o ativo transferível, por chave pública, não propicia a identificação do registro da pessoa? E, após identificar, como deve ser feita a tributação? Para responder a essas perguntas, inicialmente, defende-se a necessidade de o Estado promover uma regulação de incentivos para potencializar que as criptomoedas circulem, primordialmente, dentro das Exchanges. Em seguida, analisa-se a natureza jurídica desses ativos e os principais fatos geradores tributários que podem incidir no caso concreto. Observa-se que, muito além do Imposto de Renda por ganho de capital decorrente do cash out, há outras possibilidades de incidência de tributo, inclusive, por auferimento de renda no pagamento de uma obrigação em criptomoedas (Imposto de Renda em razão do plus jurídico). Para além dessa hipótese, há ganhos na custódia, aproximação entre clientes e troca dos ativos por moeda fiat, o que faz incidir, também, o Imposto de Renda das Exchanges e o Imposto sobre a Prestação de Serviços. Tais hipóteses são apenas algumas relatadas ao longo deste trabalho.

Further guidance from HMRC on the tax treatment of crypto-assets for businesss and companies is expected soon. This book provides a background to the development of bitcoin and the application of blockchain technology and then looks at the income tax, capital gains tax and IHT treatment of any crypto-currency.
