Dear MARIA, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  Crypto Poses Significant Tax Problems—and They Could Get Worse (Credit: Da-kuk/iStock by Getty Images) By Katherine Baer, Ruud de Mooij, Shafik Hebous, and Michael Keen Crypto assets that can be used as instruments of payment have proliferated into more than 10,000 variants since the 2009 debut of Bitcoin, the first and still the largest. The bewildering speed with which they have developed and the pseudonymity they can provide have left tax systems playing catch up. In a new paper, we discuss how governments can address the emerging challenges of taxing these crypto assets while its use is still limited so that they prevent a leakage in tax revenue and protect the integrity of the tax system.
