南非的稅收服務敦促加密資產市場參與者註冊

南非的稅務局敦促參與加密資產交易的人在當局登記，因為它試圖控制稅收違約者。

The South African Revenue Service (Sars) is urging those who trade in crypto assets to register with the tax authority, as it steps up efforts to collect taxes from new income streams and clamp down on defaulters.

南非稅務局（SARS）敦促那些在加密貨幣資產中進行交易的人在稅務局中註冊，因為它加大了從新的收入來源收取稅收並削減違約者的努力。

“We’ve invited taxpayers, exchanges and other intermediaries to register, because now, if you don’t register, you’re breaking the law,” Sars Commissioner Edward Kieswetter told Bloomberg in an interview on Tuesday.

SARS專員愛德華·基斯韋特（Edward Kieswetter）在周二的一次採訪中告訴彭博社：“我們邀請了納稅人，交流和其他中介機構進行註冊，因為現在，如果您不註冊，您正在違反法律。”

“Once they have registered, now we have knowledge of their existence, and we can now begin to track their business activities.”

“一旦他們註冊了，現在我們就知道了它們的存在，現在我們可以開始跟踪他們的業務活動。”

Kieswetter identified crypto assets as one area where Sars could increase revenues as he announced preliminary data showing tax collections beat Treasury estimates by almost R9 billion, coming in at R1.855 trillion in the year through March 2025.

基斯韋特（Kieswetter）確定加密資產是一個領域，因為SARS宣布稅收徵收的初步數據可能會增加收入，這表明稅收收集量超過了近90億蘭特，截至2025年3月，這一數字為1.855萬億蘭特。

Those نباشي in crypto assets are advised to contact Sars directly for guidance on how to register.

建議加密資產中的那些以獲取有關如何註冊的指導。

Nearly 6 million South Africans hold a crypto asset, with southern Africa having the largest uptake of the Bitcoin token in the world, according to Sars data.

根據SARS數據，將近600萬南非人擁有加密貨幣資產，南非的人民對比特幣代幣的吸收最大。

In 2022, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority estimated that about R520 million a month was traded through South African crypto asset service providers and the regulator declared it a financial product.

2022年，金融部門行為管理局估計，每月約有5.2億蘭特通過南非加密資產服務提供商進行交易，監管機構宣布它為金融產品。

But Sars is still struggling to identify those who deal in crypto assets so that it can begin to collect taxes on their income and capital gains.

但是SARS仍在努力確定那些從事加密貨幣資產的人，以便它可以開始就其收入和資本收益收取稅收。

Sars is also planning to introduce a new administrative penalty for late payment of taxes, which could help to deter taxpayers from delaying their tax obligations.

SARS還計劃為延期稅款引入新的行政罰款，這可能有助於阻止納稅人推遲稅收義務。

The agency is also focused on improving its internal processes and systems in order to become more efficient and effective in collecting taxes.

該機構還致力於改善其內部流程和系統，以便在收取稅收方面更加有效。

This will be a key priority for Sars in the year ahead, as the agency faces increasing pressure to collect more taxes from a shrinking tax base.

隨著機構面臨越來越多的壓力，可以從縮小的稅基中收取更多稅款，這將是SARS未來一年的關鍵優先事項。
