#Kenya #Cryptocurrency #TaxSystem #RealTimeMonitoring #KRA #TaxRevenue #IncomeTax #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #TaxEvasion
According to PANews, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has proposed the establishment of a tax system integrated with cryptocurrency trading platforms to enable real-time monitoring of transactions. Under this system, the KRA aims to capture key information from each transaction, such as the time and value of the trade. The tax authority has indicated that the current system is unable to track cryptocurrency transactions, resulting in significant tax revenue losses. The KRA referenced Section 3 of Kenya's Income Tax Act, which permits the taxation of cryptocurrency income. A KRA official stated, 'Our goal is to establish a robust and efficient system to effectively collect cryptocurrency taxes.' In addition to the real-time tax system, Kenya is also considering the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to detect tax evasion. These technologies are expected to optimize the KRA's tax collection processes and enhance transparency.#Kenya #Cryptocurrency #TaxSystem #RealTimeMonitoring #KRA #TaxRevenue #IncomeTax #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #TaxEvasion
🚀 Terra Luna Classic Community Approves New Tax Proposal To Simplify Blockchain Tax System
#TerraLunaClassic #taxproposal #blockchain #ReverseCharge #DApp #taxsystem #communityvote #developers #endusers
According to Odaily, the Terra Luna Classic community has voted to approve a new tax proposal aimed at simplifying the tax system on the Terra Classic blockchain. This 'Reverse Charge' mechanism changes the way taxes are deducted in transactions, making it easier for developers and users to utilize the system.
The new mechanism will deduct taxes directly from the transaction amount before it is credited to the recipient's wallet. This change eliminates the need for the sender to pay additional taxes, providing convenience for both developers and end-users. In this system, taxes are deducted directly from the transfer amount, so DApp and interface developers do not need to manage complex tax processes.
The new tax system also supports backward compatibility, allowing DApps to continue using the sender-based tax handling as needed.#TerraLunaClassic #taxproposal #blockchain #ReverseCharge #DApp #taxsystem #communityvote #developers #endusers
🚀 Argentina's President Dismisses Tax Authority Head Amid Controversial Tax Backlash

According to Cointelegraph, Argentina's President Javier Milei has dismissed Florencia Mizrahi, the head of the country's federal revenue agency, ARCA, following widespread criticism over a proposed tax targeting digital content creators. The tax plan aimed to impose reporting requirements on income generated by streamers and influencers from platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch, including earnings from brand deals and advertising.
In response to the backlash, Milei's administration announced on X that it would not pursue measures against digital businesses, emphasizing a commitment to developing a simplified tax system. The leadership of the tax agency will now be assumed by Juan Pazo, a lawyer recently appointed as Secretary of International Economic Relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The leadership change is part of Milei's broader fiscal policy agenda, which has been a focal point during his tenure at Argentina's Casa Rosada. His administration has pursued significant economic reforms, including staff reductions and a restructuring of the tax system, amid criticism of high salaries within the tax agency. These reforms come as Argentina grapples with hyperinflation, which has increased the popularity and adoption of digital assets.
Milei's economic strategies have sparked considerable debate across Argentina. While some commend his efforts to curb inflation and stabilize the national currency, the peso, others are concerned about the potential social impact on the country's most vulnerable populations. Recent data from Trading Economics indicates that consumer prices in Argentina rose by 193% year-on-year in October 2024, marking the sixth consecutive month of disinflation and the lowest increase of the year, down from 209% in September.#Argentina #JavierMilei #TaxAuthority #DigitalContent #Streamers #Infl influencers #TaxSystem #EconomicReforms #Hyperinflation #ConsumerPrices #CasaRosada #FiscalPolicy
