當選總統川普承諾取消比特幣和與美國相關的加密貨幣的資本利得稅

這項對加密貨幣友善的計畫將鼓勵在日常交易中更廣泛地使用數位貨幣，同時支持總部位於美國的加密貨幣公司。

Former President Donald Trump has proposed eliminating capital gains taxes on Bitcoin and U.S.-linked cryptocurrencies, aiming to encourage broader digital currency use for everyday transactions and bolster crypto firms based in the country.

前總統川普提議取消比特幣和與美國相關的加密貨幣的資本利得稅，旨在鼓勵在日常交易中更廣泛地使用數位貨幣，並支持總部位於該國的加密公司。

During a recent interview, Trump discussed a conversation with a friend about the U.S. tax system, which led him to question the fairness of taxing digital asset trades.

在最近的一次採訪中，川普與一位朋友討論了美國稅收制度，這讓他質疑對數位資產交易徵稅的公平性。

“They have them paying tax on crypto, and I don’t think that’s right,” Trump said. “Bitcoin is money, and you have to pay capital gains tax if you use it to buy a coffee? I was talking with a friend. He said, ‘It really shouldn’t be taxed,’ and I agree. Maybe we get rid of taxes on crypto and replace it with tariffs.”

「他們讓他們對加密貨幣納稅，我認為這是不對的，」川普說。 「比特幣就是錢，用它買咖啡就得繳資本利得稅？我正在和朋友聊天。他說，“確實不應該徵稅”，我同意。也許我們會取消對加密貨幣的徵稅，並用關稅取而代之。

Under current regulations, using Bitcoin to purchase a good or service can trigger capital gains taxes if its value has appreciated since it was acquired. The complexity deters people from using digital assets for everyday expenses. Trump's proposal aims to remove this obstacle and facilitate the use of cryptocurrencies in daily commerce.

根據現行法規，使用比特幣購買商品或服務，如果其價值自購買後升值，可能會引發資本利得稅。這種複雜性阻礙了人們使用數位資產來支付日常開支。川普的提議旨在消除這一障礙並促進加密貨幣在日常商業中的使用。

Trump's Tax-Free Push for U.S.-Made Cryptocurrencies

川普推動美國製造的加密貨幣免稅

Trump's plan also seeks to boost U.S.-made cryptocurrencies by removing taxes on them and only taxing American-made tokens.

川普的計劃還尋求透過取消對美國製造的加密貨幣徵稅並僅對美國製造的代幣徵稅來提振美國製造的加密貨幣。

“No tax on crypto but only on tokens made in the USA. We want tokens made here at home, we don’t want the Chinese tokens. We say get those Chinese tokens out of here,” he stated.

「對加密貨幣不徵稅，只對美國製造的代幣徵稅。我們想要在國內製造的代幣，我們不要中國的代幣。我們說把這些中國代幣從這裡拿走，」他說。

This move aligns with his broader goal of supporting American companies and reducing foreign digital dependency. The proposal has drawn attention within the crypto community, as it could potentially drive more people and businesses toward using U.S.-based cryptocurrencies. Removing tax barriers could help build a stronger local crypto market.

此舉符合他支持美國公司和減少外國數位依賴的更廣泛目標。該提案引起了加密貨幣社群的關注，因為它可能會促使更多的人和企業使用美國的加密貨幣。消除稅收壁壘可能有助於建立更強大的本地加密貨幣市場。

In contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed support for higher long-term capital gains tax rates, proposing an increase to 28% from 20% for individuals earning over $1 million annually. Her stance reflects a more cautious approach to cryptocurrency taxation, emphasizing the need to generate revenue and address income inequality.

相較之下，副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯表示支持提高長期資本利得稅率，建議將年收入超過 100 萬美元的個人的稅率從 20% 提高到 28%。她的立場反映出對加密貨幣徵稅採取更加謹慎的態度，強調需要創造收入和解決收入不平等問題。

Can Tariffs Replace Income Tax in Trump’s Vision?

川普的願景中關稅能否取代所得稅？

Individual income tax generates almost $5 trillion in federal revenue. Trump has suggested using higher tariffs to compensate for removing income taxes, drawing comparisons to the U.S. economy in the 1890s, when tariffs were a major source of revenue. However, economists note that tariffs now contribute only around 2% to federal revenue, indicating that substantial increases would be necessary to cover the tax cuts.

個人所得稅產生近 5 兆美元的聯邦收入。川普建議使用更高的關稅來補償取消所得稅，並將其與 1890 年代的美國經濟進行比較，當時關稅是主要收入來源。然而，經濟學家指出，關稅目前僅佔聯邦收入的 2% 左右，這表明需要大幅增加關稅才能覆蓋減稅。

Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump's campaign, has clarified that eliminating income taxes is an “aspirational goal.” He noted that the immediate focus would be on extending provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and implementing targeted tax reductions.

川普競選團隊的高級顧問賈森·米勒(Jason Miller)澄清說，取消所得稅是一個「理想的目標」。他指出，目前的重點是延長 2017 年減稅和就業法案的規定並實施有針對性的減稅。
