Countries Reconsider Taxing Crypto
Countries are increasingly recognizing the need to tax cryptocurrency holdings as the digital currency market expands. Brazil, for instance, introduced legislation effective from 1 January, 2024. It imposes a tax of up to 15% on profits from cryptocurrencies held overseas by Brazilian nationals.
Meanwhile, India continues to enforce stiff taxes on crypto transactions. The country maintains a 30% tax on profits and a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on all transactions. Likewise, the UK national taxing authority asked crypto users last year to disclose any unpaid taxes in order to avoid fines.
More recently, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unveiled an updated draft of the 1099-DA tax form, which crypto brokers and investors will use to report certain transactions. The revised version, set to take effect in 2026, aims to streamline the reporting process while addressing privacy concerns raised by the initial draft.
The 1099-DA will be used by crypto investors who engage with brokers, primarily centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, to report taxable events related to the sale and exchange of digital assets. The IRS’s latest draft simplifies the form significantly compared to the version first proposed in April.
