Additionally, crypto-fiat trades do not fall under the purview of this proposal, per reports.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, a similar bill with a limit of $200 has floated in the Senate during the past two hearings. A much broader proposal called the &ldquo;Omnibus crypto bill&rdquo; from Senators Lummis and Gillibrand also supports a de minimis structure for taxing crypto.<\/p>\n<p>JUST IN: &#127482;&#127480; US senators propose a bill that would exempt #crypto transactions under $50 from taxes.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act from Senators Toomey and Kyrsten could implement a de minimis exemption for investors when filing their tax reports.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, U.S. tax laws treat cryptocurrencies as an investment vehicle as opposed to a means of payment. Therefore, it&rsquo;s mandatory for investors to report capital gains made from their crypto holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto users in the U.S. have supposedly asked for clarity regarding the matter although the Internal Revenue Service does not actively police smaller digital asset transactions, per The Block&rsquo;s report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the bill has enjoyed support from a plethora of crypto advocacy entities like the Blockchain Association, the future of the proposal in Congress remains unclear. The U.S. Senate is close to enacting a long recess and experts believe crypto laws could stay on the back burner until after the elections later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Reports also say that Senator Toomey will not rerun for office, although the lawmaker seems intent on pushing the proposal through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/crypto-tax-Senator-Toomey-1024x683.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Crypto Tax Regimes In Other Jurisdictions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>While U.S. lawmakers seemingly prefer a more friendly approach to crypto taxation, other jurisdictions like India have reportedly adopted rigid structures toward the matter. India introduced a hefty 30% crypto tax.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An additional 1% tax deduction at source (TDS) was implemented as well. Since these laws came into effect in April and July, trading volumes have slumped and exchanges mull over relocating to more accommodating climates.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/crypto-tax-exemption-proposed-us-senators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: A crypto tax bill was introduced<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":161029,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
