Kripto jezik v zakonu o infrastrukturi je politična lupina, pravi Cointelegraph GC

Zachary Kelman, general counsel of Cointelegraph, said that the political fight over the tax implications for crypto in the United States infrastructure bill is nothing new, as it’s likely about how lawmakers plan to pay for everything.

In an interview with Cointelegraph’s Jackson DuMont, Kelman claimed that senators pushing the crypto language in the infrastructure bill — which ultimately passed in the U.S. Senate after one senator objected to a clarifying amendment — may have been more influenced by political concerns than ones potentially affecting the crypto space. Namely, the general counsel claimed that lawmakers know that crypto firms “can’t actually acquiesce” to the proposed tax reporting requirements but needed the language to essentially win over senators concerned about paying the bill.

According to Kelman, Republicans and moderate Democrats may be supportive of the bill but want the language to have a provision to fund some of the roads, bridges and major infrastructure projects proposed without actually having to raise taxes.

»To pravilo skupaj s številnimi drugimi pravili govori o uveljavljanju. Gre za to - ne da bi morali reči, da bomo dvignili mejno stopnjo dobička, bomo zvišali stopnje davka od dohodkov pravnih oseb, kar pošilja slab tržni signal, «je dejal Kelman. "Nekako pravijo, da je ta denar tam v kripto deželi […] in da bomo našli nove načine za zajetje teh davčnih prihodkov."

Dodal je še:

“It’s a bit of a shell game to show them, ‘Look, we are going to be able to pay for this.’”

The infrastructure bill, HR 3684, passed the Senate in a 69-30 vote on Aug. 10. Notably, despite the lack of an amendment clarifying the crypto language in the bill, four of the senators pushing for such clarification — Rob Portman, Mark Warner, Kyrsten Sinema and Ron Wyden — all voted in favor of the deal, with only Pat Toomey and Cynthia Lummis voting “nay.” The bill will now go to the House of Representatives, where it likely won’t be put to a vote until later this year.
