Taxation

Taxation

Tax policy should enable the use of digital assets in everyday transactions, rather than posing an unworkable and unrealistic compliance burden for taxpayers and the IRS alike. Blockchain Association promotes fair, modernized tax rules that reflect the reality of digital asset transactions and streamlines the IRS’s ability to tax meaningful economic activity.

The Policy Issues

Clear, modernized tax rules will strengthen U.S. competitiveness, support compliance, and give Americans confidence to use digital assets without unnecessary complexity. By aligning policy with economic reality, Congress can reduce burdens on taxpayers and the IRS, unlock innovation, and keep talent, investment, and next-generation financial infrastructure growing here at home
