Monday: Senator Pat Toomey deemed the bipartisan infrastructure bill’s proposed کریپٹو ٹیکس reporting clauses “unworkable”. He pledged to amend the terms.
ایک پریس بیان میں regarding the same, he said,
"کانگریس کو کرپٹو کرنسی کے لیے جلد بازی سے ڈیزائن کی گئی ٹیکس رپورٹنگ حکومت کے ساتھ آگے نہیں بڑھنا چاہیے ، خاص طور پر نتائج کے مکمل ادراک کے بغیر۔"
About this, he pointed out that, for one, the text’s definition of a broker is too broad. It affects non-financial services parties such as ویکیپیڈیا کان کنوں, that the senator noted should be exempt. Other than this, he said non-custodial services would also struggle to file proper identification forms with the IRS.
Moreover, as per a source close to the matter, Toomey is now on the lookout for a democratic senator to partner with. The two will work together to amend the bill. He also shared the matter on his official Twitter account.
The bipartisan infrastructure package includes a hastily-designed tax reporting regime for cryptocurrency. Simply put, the text is unworkable. I plan to offer an amendment to fix it. https://t.co/LD1Bfwh4yh

This statement by the top Republican senator stressed two crucial things. It emphasizes both the importance of the bill and the complexity that needs to be considered when drafting it. Keeping this in mind, it’s safe to say that the $1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill won’t come easy.
