Tax services are getting pushy to have crypto declared: Law Decoded, Nov. 27–Dec. 4

Press Releases Crypto News Cointelegraph Tax services are getting pushy to have crypto declared: Law Decoded, Nov. 27–Dec. 4

Last week, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) presented an unpleasant Christmas surprise to hodlers in the United Kingdom, demanding they declare any crypto holdings they failed to report in the last four, six or even 20 years. The tax authority also reminded taxpayers of the interest, charged daily from the date tax is due until it is paid. As an additional tax on previous-year crypto holdings would now be classified as late, it automatically suggests the interest owed. Failing to include the correct interest will result in a rejection of disclosure. After disclosing unpaid taxes, users will get payment reference numbers and have 30 days to remit the entire sum owed. The disclosure must include “exchange tokens,” such as Bitcoin (BTC), as well as any nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and “utility tokens.”

Less harsh in its demands, the Spanish Tax Administration Agency has also reminded its citizens about their obligations to declare crypto, even if they store it abroad. The Agency published Form 721, the submission period for which will commence on Jan.1 and end on the last day of March. However, only individuals with balance sheets exceeding the equivalent of 50,000 euros (around $55,000) in crypto assets are obliged to declare their foreign holdings. Those who store their assets in self-custodied wallets must report their holdings through the standard wealth tax Form 714.

Brazil will also proceed to tax its citizens’ foreign crypto holdings via a bill already passed in the Chamber of Deputies and expected to be approved by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Under the bill, any Brazilian who earns more than 6,000 Brazilian reals ($1,200) on exchanges based outside the country would be subject to the tax, effective Jan. 1, 2024.
