In the USA, the IRS simply won access in court to 14,000 Coinbase accounts "that led bitcoin exchanges worth $20,000 or more". They initially sued for access to all records, however in this manner restricted their request.
In the UK, as per ZDNet, "The British government is mounting a crackdown on Bitcoin in the midst of rising worries about illegal tax avoidance and tax avoidance, with UK Treasury uncovering it is investigating managing digital forms of money."
Different nations are investigating an assortment of controls - the nations underneath and a few others are depicted in this Investopedia article:
Switzerland has chosen to grasp digital money in the same non-administrative way the same number of other European nations.
Australia has struck a gainful adjust by they way they handle both blockchain innovation and theoretical digital forms of money. They have named bitcoin as "cash" to have the capacity to assess the individuals who exchange with it, and have constructed extraordinary limits to control the nation's expanding ICO part.
In Germany, bitcoin is viewed as a "unit of record" and its subjects are allowed to exchange it as they wish. In any case, it's likewise assessable and must cause VAT when exchanged with Euros.
Japan is apparently the most digital currency positive nation, and has figured out how to end up so by perceiving coins like bitcoin as a "legitimate methods for installment", yet not as a customary money.
Frightened by how much capital was escaping the nation by means of bitcoin, China forced sudden strict directions on bitcoin exchanging and then some, and fans in the nation are as yet managing outcomes.
From the understanding I've done on this, it appears that numerous legislatures are endeavoring to discover a harmony amongst control and opportunity with regards to digital money.
While there are clear administrative advantages as far as tax assessment, keeping a light touch supports the development of crypto, which is something that most country's need to energize at the danger of falling behind in a rising segment of back and innovation.
what do you think about the recent declining bitcoin price.
