Digital Asset Tax Reform: New Rules and Exemptions
New regulations simplify tax reporting for small digital asset transactions, establish clear rules for lending and trading, and modify the taxation of mining and staking. The aim is to make it easier for citizens to use digital assets in daily life and ensure greater tax clarity.
Key points
Small digital asset transactions (up to $300) used to purchase goods or services for personal use will be tax-exempt, simplifying everyday payments.
Income from digital asset mining and staking will not be taxed immediately; tax will be due only upon sale or other disposition of these assets.
Clear rules for digital asset lending have been introduced, aiming to facilitate such transactions and ensure tax predictability.
Changes to 'wash sale' rules for digital assets aim to prevent tax avoidance, with an exception for stablecoins.
Charitable contributions of actively traded digital assets are now eligible for deductions, potentially encouraging donations to non-profit organizations.
