The American legislator targets encryption investors using Puerto Rico as a tax haven

A member of the House of Representatives suggested legislation aimed at preventing investors from using the US landing lands as a tax coding.

According to a report on April 21, Bloomberg, New York Representative Nidia Villazkuiz foot Fair taxes of digital assets in the Puerto Rico Law, a draft law that can change the current laws in the region to require some investors to pay local and federal taxes on capital gains, including the digital assets. It is said that the legislation will add a text to the Law of the internal revenue of Puerto Rico, which makes income from encrypted currencies subject to federal tax laws.

“This wave of encryption investors did not help recover Portorico or have strengthened the local economy,” said Representative Villazkuiz. “Instead, housing costs are raised, the local population is paid, and added pressure to an island where nearly 40 % of people live in poverty – all of which are while it cost federal government billions in missing tax revenues.”

Puerto Rico is well known as a tax haven for many people in the encryption industry since the region began to allow exemptions in 2012 under Law 20 and honor 22 of the tax incentives law – it was later united as ACT 60. The island has attracted investors, including the founder The effect on the Internet.
