Wyoming Moves to Lift Cryptocurrency Property Tax

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago  (edited)

Go Wyoming - let it be the beginning... and another reason to vote Republican.

"Wyoming just gave Americans another reason to live there. In a one-two punch to the US Fed, the Wyoming Senate Bill 111 was introduced on Feb. 16, moving to exempt cryptocurrencies from property taxation, solidifying the state’s business tax-friendly reputation and lifting its profile for blockchain businesses in the interim."

"If the bill passes, not only would it be a boon for Wyoming’s economy... it could inspire other US states to similarly remove any hurdles that would interfere with the proliferation of the cryptocurrency market."

"The bill, which is being sponsored by half-a-dozen Republican Senators and Representatives, includes virtual currencies among a list of other intangible items that “shall be exempt from property taxation” as soon as the bill becomes law. It defines virtual currencies as “any type of digital representation of value that is 1.) used as a medium of exchange, unit of account or store of value, and 2.) is not recognized as legal tender by the US government.”

AN ACT relating to securities; providing that a person who develops, sells or facilitates the exchange of an open blockchain token is not subject to specified securities and money transmission laws; making conforming amendments and providing for an effective date.

Wyoming has a few other pending bills which are related to blockchain and cryptocurrency including HB0019 and SF0111, more details on the bills: Wyoming Is On A Roll: New Bill Exempts Tokens From Securities Law
