The United States is moving to delay taxation of cryptocurrency earned through mining and staking until the tokens are sold.
The House Ways and Means Committee will mark up a bill on crypto taxation on the 16th, Bloomberg reported on the 14th.
Under current Internal Revenue Service rules, cryptocurrency obtained through mining must be reported as income at its fair market value at the time it is received. Staking rewards are also counted as income based on when the taxpayer gains control over the tokens.
If the House changes the guidance, the taxable moment could be pushed back to when the coins are disposed of. The income would also be classified as ordinary income rather than capital gains. Democrats oppose the change, arguing that deferring taxation only on rewards could create fairness problems relative to existing investments, leaving room for revisions during deliberations.
Congress also plans to bar investors from immediately deducting losses if they repurchase substantially identical assets within 30 days before or after selling cryptocurrency at a loss.
In South Korea, demands to revise crypto taxation are also mounting. According to financial industry sources, a petition seeking a two-year delay in crypto taxation, posted on the National Assembly's public petition board on Aug. 21, had drawn more than 51,000 signatures as of 2 p.m. on the 14th. Public petitions are referred to the relevant standing committee if they gather at least 50,000 signatures within 30 days of being posted.
It is not the first time a petition opposing crypto taxation has cleared the National Assembly's threshold. In May, a petition calling for the outright repeal of crypto taxation drew more than 50,000 signatures in about a week and was referred to the Finance and Economic Planning Committee.
Deliberations have since made little progress. That petition remains pending at the committee about four months after it was referred. Under the National Assembly Act, a committee must report its review results to the Assembly speaker within 90 days of a petition's referral, though the review period can be extended if there are special reasons.
With the tax taking effect in a little over 100 days, calls within the industry to postpone it again are growing louder. "We need a reasonable overhaul of the tax system that properly reflects the realities of a rapidly changing market and is consistent with the taxation of other assets such as stocks," an official in the cryptocurrency industry said.
