A New Argentinian Bill Promotes Electronic Crypto Asset Disclosure With A Tax Rate Of 2.5%

The overseer of Argentina’s economic policy, the Ministry of Economy, has created a bill to entice Argentines to report their bitcoin holdings by offering them reduced tax rates.

According to a Jan. 6 report by regional publication Errepar, Economy Minister Sergio Massa introduced the “Externalization of Argentine Savings” draft law, which aims to combat money laundering.

The measure would force cryptocurrency owners to provide the government with an affidavit, which is a sworn statement indicating the location of their holdings.

To entice people to disclose their holdings, the measure suggests tax incentives.

Within 90 days of the law’s implementation, those who voluntarily register their assets will only be required to pay a 2.5% capital gains tax on their cryptocurrency holdings. Every 90 days, this tax rate will rise a little bit until it reaches the ordinary capital gains tax rate of 15% for the nation.

The bill also aims to encourage Argentinians to claim holdings of other financial assets that bear capital gains, such as fiat currencies, stocks, stocks, real estate and even furniture.

The proposed regulation would require deposits of both domestic and foreign shares in Argentina-approved banks or in foreign institutions under the control of that nation’s central bank or securities commission.

Recently, Argentina’s largest banks have accepted cryptocurrencies and allowed their customers to start buying four cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin through their accounts at the bank.

Argentina’s largest and second largest private banks, Banco Galicia and Brubank, have announced that they will allow customers to buy cryptocurrencies.

Allowing customers to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through a bank could save Argentinians from the country’s terrible inflation.
