馬來西亞推出「Ops Token」以加強加密貨幣逃稅打擊，針對涉嫌隱藏加密貨幣相關活動的公司

馬來西亞政府正在加強打擊加密貨幣逃稅的力度，啟動了代號為「Ops Token」的特別調查。

The Malaysian government is ramping up its efforts to combat crypto tax evasion by launching a special investigation codenamed 'Ops Token'. Officials from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) conducted raids across multiple locations, targeting firms suspected of not reporting their crypto-related activities.

馬來西亞政府正加強打擊加密貨幣逃稅行為，發起一項代號為「Ops Token」的特別調查。稅務局 (IRB) 的官員在多個地點進行了突襲搜查，針對涉嫌未報告其加密貨幣相關活動的公司。

This crackdown mirrors India's approach to regulating the crypto space, aiming to establish transparency and control over crypto transactions, which are often anonymous and prone to illegal activities. The IRB collaborated with the Royal Malaysia Police and CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) to identify tax evaders. A team of 38 security personnel carried out raids in ten locations situated in the Klang Valley.

這次打擊行動反映了印度監管加密貨幣領域的方法，旨在建立對加密貨幣交易的透明度和控制，這些交易通常是匿名的並且容易發生非法活動。稅務局與馬來西亞皇家警察和馬來西亞網路安全局 (CSM) 合作識別逃稅者。由 38 名安全人員組成的團隊在巴生谷的 10 個地點進行了突襲搜查。

In Malaysia, cryptocurrencies are classified as securities and, while not considered legal tender, their trading is permitted. Crypto businesses operating in the country are subject to the nation's tax regime.

在馬來西亞，加密貨幣被歸類為證券，雖然不被視為法定貨幣，但其交易是允許的。在該國營運的加密貨幣企業須遵守該國的稅收制度。

This move comes as Malaysia's cryptocurrency market is projected to reach $306.6 million in revenue by the end of 2024, with an estimated three million residents actively engaged in the crypto space.

此舉出台之際，馬來西亞的加密貨幣市場收入預計到 2024 年底將達到 3.066 億美元，估計有 300 萬居民積極參與加密貨幣領域。

The Malaysian government is determined to curb tax evasion across all sectors. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim instructed authorities to clamp down on tax evaders after Malaysia reportedly lost RM 6.34 billion to tax evasion.

馬來西亞政府決心遏制所有部門的逃稅行為。今年早些時候，據報馬來西亞因逃稅損失了 63.4 億令吉，總理拿督斯里安瓦爾易卜拉欣指示當局打擊逃稅者。

Crypto-engaged companies are now facing audits, and those found to be in default will face consequences. In Malaysia, evading taxes carries a penalty of up to RM 20,000 and a prison sentence of up to six months.

從事加密貨幣的公司現在正面臨審計，那些被發現違約的公司將面臨後果。在馬來西亞，逃稅可被處以最高 20,000 令吉的罰款和最高 6 個月的監禁。

This crackdown follows previous measures taken by the Malaysian government to curb crypto mining operations, which were deemed to be siphoning electricity.

這次打擊行動是馬來西亞政府先前採取的遏制加密貨幣採礦作業的措施，這些作業被認為是在消耗電力。
