[The updated version of the U.S. Infrastructure Act narrows the scope of reporting requirements for digital asset brokers]
According to CoinDesk on August 2, the updated version of the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the US Senate narrowed the definition of "broker" for Crypto tax purposes, but did not clearly stipulate that only companies that provide services to customers are eligible. The bill being debated in the Senate provides about $1 trillion in funding for infrastructure improvements across the country, partly to be paid for by about $28 billion in taxes generated by crypto transactions. An earlier version of the bill sought to serve tax purposes by raising information reporting requirements and broadening the definition of “broker” to include any party that might interact with Crypto, including decentralized exchanges or other non-custodial service providers.
According to the bill, "any person (for consideration) responsible for regularly providing any service of transferring digital assets on behalf of others" is now included in the definition. At the heart of the issue is the information reporting requirement. The initial version of the infrastructure bill does not propose a new tax on crypto transactions, but rather increases the types of reporting that exchanges or other market participants must provide around transactions. That means the bill would enforce existing tax rules on a wider range of transactions. Certain types of exchanges (i.e. decentralized exchanges) may find it difficult to comply given that there is no clear operator that can provide such reporting.
