Last year a New Hampshire State Representative put forward a bill that would allow individuals to pay taxes in bitcoin. The results have just come in.
Last year, a New Hampshire State Representative called Eric Schleien introduced a bill that proposed the introduction of a new method of paying taxes in New Hampshire – bitcoin. If passed, the bill would force the state treasurer in NH to, and to quote directly, “develop an implementation plan for the state to accept bitcoin as payment for taxes and fees”. Further, the system (if the bill passed) would need to be in place by 2017 tax collection season. At the time of its introduction bill HR552, as it’s more affectionately known, had bipartisan support from two democratic sponsors and five republican sponsors.
