Tax Authority in Iran to Legalize Crypto Exchanges
There is a sudden rush to adopt cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, and other altcoins because of the safety and ingenuity these bring to the modern financial world. Now, this is something that is taking place already in significant parts of the world, metropolitans that have not only established a standard financial system but are willing to integrate it with the idea of decentralization to be innovative and creative in the field.
Other countries where the idea of decentralization is not that popular and the conventional financial system is still being improved, such as Iran, are having a rush of blood to adapt and legalize cryptocurrencies.
An Iranian text agency has presented the state with the idea of legalizing crypto exchanges within the country and building a solid legal and regulatory framework around this concept. This infrastructure will allow the state to impose a tax on these trading platforms. This will help keep these trading platforms in check and initiate a steady stream of revenue for the state in terms of tax collection.
The INTA or (Iranian International Tax Administration) is already working on the first draft of the legal infrastructure, which will allow the state to tax these crypto trading platforms in a legal and secure way.
Crypto Exchanges should be Legalized within the Region, Says INTA
In a proposal exchanged with the Iranian president, there are concerns that before cryptocurrencies are legalized within the state, they must be properly regulated, and so the need to regulate these crypto trading platforms also came to light, hence the development of this new legal framework. Now, this is an idea that was initially proposed by the local media, but the government took action on it as it was a pretty solid one, and at present, it is literally being transcribed into a legal framework.
Various different propositions have been issued to the state by INTA. The government should keep track of all the transactions taking place through these crypto changes and should only legalize those that are authentic and properly authorized to operate. There are also recommendations to keep this new legal framework on a broader side which will help the crypto market to evolve and thrive within the nation.
