U.S. representatives Drew Ferguson and Wiley Nickel introduced legislation that provides more clarity on tax rules for cryptocurrency miners and stakers. The Act entitled “Providing Tax Clarity for Digital Assets Act” was revealed on April 30 for the sake of overcoming the current crypto tax compliance issues.
This bill proposes that block rewards taxes be increased when they are sold or used. This modification is aimed at solving the double taxation problem of the investors in crypto and creating a tax-efficient regime for the digital assets of US players. Mainly, the Coin Center and other advocacy organizations have supported the statement, directly inspiring its positive attitude towards this bill.
The law suggests that rewards from creating digital assets for staking purposes are to be regarded as assets by law, which would lead to a more uniform tax system. Due to industry leaders who support the bill, such as Sheila Warren, Crypto Council for Innovation chairman, the central role of this piece of legislation for removing the regulatory uncertainty will be realized.
The lawmakers propose that clear, tax-related laws are critical in providing funding for innovation otherwise schemes aimed at moving companies from the country would not work.
