The individuals or entities facilitating the sale or transfer of these assets would be responsible for paying the tax.<\/p>\n<p>If passed, New York would join a growing list of jurisdictions exploring targeted taxation on digital asset activity.

Officials say the effort aims to improve transparency and foster a stronger tax compliance culture.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the United Kingdom is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/uk-hmrc-mandates-crypto-exchanges-must-share-user-data-starting-2026\/\">require digital asset service providers<\/a> to submit customer transaction data to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) starting in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to the authorities, this information is part of a broader strategy to enhance transparency in the digital asset economy.<\/p>\n<h2>Crypto tax obligations<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, tax professionals caution that the current bullish market could lead to higher tax liabilities for traders and investors.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have rallied to new highs that have attracted significant interest to the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this, Lee Murphy, Managing Director at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaccountancy.co.uk\/calculators\/crypto-calculator\">The Accountancy Partnership<\/a>, told <em>CryptoSlate<\/em> that many investors believe crypto sits in a legal grey area for taxation.<\/p>\n<p>However, he stressed that digital assets should be treated like other taxable assets, with obligations triggered by sales, swaps, purchases, or gifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers in New York are considering a bill that would impose a tax on digital asset transactions.
