At the moment, the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, does not have independent verification of such transactions, potentially leading to a widening tax gap \u2014 the difference between taxes owed and paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinancial institutions house a lot of valuable information, and indeed already provide third-party reports to the IRS,\u201d said the report. \u201cLeveraging this information \u2014 rather than introducing new requirements for taxpayers \u2014 is a proven way to improve compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saying crypto posed \u201ca significant detection problem by facilitating illegal activity,\u201d the government body specifically mentioned crypto businesses were in its crosshairs:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Businesses that receive cryptoassets with a fair market value of more than $10,000 would also be reported on. Although cryptocurrency is a small share of current business transactions, such comprehensive reporting is necessary to minimize the incentives and opportunity to shift income out of the new information reporting regime.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to data from the IRS, in October 83.6% of taxes were <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/the-tax-gap\">paid<\/a> &#8220;voluntarily and on time&#8221; from 2011 to 2013. However, the Treasury Department report projects that the tax gap will reach roughly $7 trillion total over the next ten years, with the proposal aimed at shrinking this potential gap by 10%. It claimed the government would be able to audit companies with any tax discrepancies more effectively, incentivizing them to report all transactions properly. <\/p>\n<p>Lumping in crypto with cash as a way of shielding businesses from their reporting requirements, the Treasury Department said virtual currencies were a \u201csignificant concern\u201d for the government. Though the IRS has been able to obtain data on individual crypto taxpayers from some exchanges, businesses dealing with cash and crypto are seemingly in a blind spot for tax regulators.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
