Forewarning: Get Off Exchanges (Patreon)
Content
HMRC is considering new rules that would allow it to seize cryptocurrency from businesses that fail to pay their taxes.
The proposals would give HMRC the power to access online wallets, including those used by businesses.
HMRC is already able to seize funds from bank accounts when individuals fail to pay tax.
The move is seen as a crackdown on the cryptocurrency sector, which has been accused of allowing money laundering and criminal activity.
The rules would only apply to centralised online exchanges, not individual wallets.
Stay well team. Prepare!!!
