I think most of the people in here agree on the idea that bitcoin should be tax free in every country. Bitcoin is a great way out of the system as long as you do anything anonymously but the legal businesses trying to adopt btc are screwed by the system and according to the usd/btc rate instability you may have to pay too much taxes. I'm not willing to support a corrupt system but still want to be able to use btc 'legally' and without anonymity. I think I speak for a lot of the people in here.
Here my idea: All the btc (and alt coin) exchanges should agree to have no rate between any fiat/coin and coin/coin on the day(s) that counts for paying taxes. I'm very sure it wouldn't be that easy as it sounds and there are different rules and regulations in different countries for that behavior of course but I just want to put the idea in here. Maybe it's an idea for another altcoin? Let's talk about that.

Next development steps to go (I'm working on the designs):
1. A decentralized cryptoexchange protocol
2. A cryptocoin with a fix USD/Coin rate

Taxes are theft, and as such you have my blessing, to cheat as you file your tax claims.  Unless you want to be a TRUE Libertarian, and suck every dollar possible out of this government by applying to every federal and state aid possible. Food stamps, housing allowances, aid for paying your electriciy bill, a free phone, go crazy! |

Various prominent anarchist thinkers, e.g. Stefan Molyneux, David Friedman, among others, have made some interesting presentations concerning statelessness (anarcho-voluntarism) and law in such a society. There are some decent vids on YouTube.

420: That's not the issue. Do you think it's fair that Infowars have to pay about 40% and Google just about 3%? I hope you know why this is. As soon as governments go corrupt you shouldn't support them anymore. I hope not a lot in here want to support dictator Obama and the NWO. They should be afraid of you and not the other way around.

Right; Not fair. Tax is theft like Third Way said. |

I love this argument, no taxes always mean violence and dead people on the street while completely ignoring how many wars are funded through public spending  |

How did I guess this thread would go straight down the road of the morality of taxation! But that's not what you were asking was it? Bitcoin is not unique as a commodity with a variable value in relation to the fiat with which you run your business so I don't think you need go very far with trying to get 'agreement' here on a usd/btc rate (you'd be pissing in the wind with that one anyway). If you're going to be straight up with the taxman as to at what exchange rate you received and at what rate you converted to fiat there's no reason you should need to pay 'too much' in taxes either. If you made on the transaction that adds to your business profit and if you consider the whole of the business profit as taxable then you'll pay only what is due. I have seen threads on this forum on ways to deal with Bitcoin profits (from mining or speculation) for the purposes of US taxes and I expect there are others for other jurisdictions too. It may need a bit of getting to grips with (or for your accountant to get to grips with) but I can guarantee you it will be easier than trying to get folks here to agree to change something about Bitcoin itself or about interfering with the free floating, market-driven exchange rates to suit your tax return! |
