The AFIP, the Argentinian tax agency, is supporting the creation of a centralized system that serves as a registry for cryptocurrency holders. According to statements from its head, this would make it easier for tax agencies all over the world to curb evasion. The organization has already made use of financial information to collect taxes from Argentinian users with bank accounts abroad.


Argentinian Tax Agency Backs Crypto Holder Registry Creation


The AFIP, which is the Argentinian national tax collecting agency, wants to advance its efficiency in the collection of crypto-related taxes. In this sense, the organization has voiced its public support for creating a cryptocurrency holder registry, by making changes to include the digital assets in the current automatic exchange data system operated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The head of the AFIP, Mercedes Marco del Pont, stated at an event that:



It is necessary to include electronic money, digital currencies and crypto assets in international information exchange mechanisms to prevent them from becoming instruments that facilitate evasion.



Furthermore, Marco del Pont also explained the recent experience of the regulator when tackling tax evasion on taxpayers that did not possess bank accounts or assets in the country. The regulator managed to exploit the exchange of information with other countries to gain access to an important part of these funds.



AFIP Strengthens Controls


The Argentinian Tax Office managed to include digital wallets, that is, funds that users had stored on fintech platforms, as part of the assets that can be seized to pay for tax debt. This measure allowed the organization to act in more than 5,000 cases where taxpayers did not have any other properties to seize. This is possible because the organization receives reports from fintech companies about the holdings of their customers.


On these actions, Marco del Pont stated:



We deepened the recovery of the capacities of the State in matters of control to control avoidance and evasion with the focus on increasing the contribution to the collection of the sectors with the greatest taxpaying capacity.



The Argentinian government is trying to raise funds to pay off the debt it has with the International Monetary Fund, and one of its strategies is to implement new tax collection methods. In March, the organization started scrutinizing the movements of cryptocurrency traders directly, sending requirements to some to report their crypto movements. Also, a law project that seeks to tax the holdings that Argentinians have around the world, including cryptocurrencies, was presented to the Senate earlier this month.

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/a-jacobin-podcast-review-critiques-on-crypto-and-sterlins-response.jpg The following opinion editorial is a Jacobin Podcast review written by the author Sterlin Lujan , the chief risk officer with Cryptospace. The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis

Over the last decade, fluctuating price cycles have made it so some addresses, typically referred to as crypto whales, have been able to accumulate vast quantities of coins. Moreover, a few crypto projects have also seen whales accumulate a majority of a token’s circulating supply via the initial distribution process. The Top 8 Crypto Assets by Concentration of Large Holders The subject of whales is a popular one in the world of cryptocurrencies, as the entities have always been a force to be reckoned with.
