紐約議會法案A7788試圖允許居民在比特幣中繳稅

紐約朝主流加密採用邁出了大膽的一步。一項新的立法提案旨在允許居民使用比特幣，以太坊和萊特幣等數字資產

New York might soon accept tax payments in Bitcoin, according to a new legislative proposal.

根據一項新的立法提案，紐約可能很快接受比特幣的稅款。

Assembly Bill A7788, introduced by Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, seeks to amend New York’s state finance law to allow government agencies to accept cryptocurrencies for a variety of payments.

議員克萊德·凡爾（Clyde Vanel）提出的大會法案A7788試圖修改紐約州的州財務法，以允許政府機構接受加密貨幣以進行各種付款。

The bill, which has now advanced to the Committee on Governmental Operations, proposes an amendment to Article 7-A of the state’s finance law, specifically section 123-c, which would authorize state agencies to enter into agreements with persons for the acceptance of cryptocurrency.

該法案現已晉升為政府行動委員會，提出了對該州財務法第7A條的修正案，特別是第123-C節，該條款將授權州機構與人達成協議，以接受加密貨幣。

“Each state agency is authorized to enter into agreements with persons to provide the acceptance, by offices of the state, of cryptocurrency as a means of payments of fines, civil penalties, rent, rates, taxes, fees, charges, revenue, financial obligations or other amounts including penalties, special assessments and interest, owed to state agencies,” the bill stated.

“每個國家機構都有權與人簽訂協議，以通過州的辦公室，加密貨幣的辦公室提供認可，作為罰款，民事罰款，租金，稅率，稅率，費用，費用，收費，財務義務，財務義務或其他金額，包括罰款，特殊評估和利率的款項，對國家代理機構的欠款。”

The bill provides for the state agencies to be able to—but not required to—enter into agreements to accept crypto payments, and each agency would have the flexibility to determine whether accepting digital assets aligns with its operations.

該法案規定，州機構能夠（但不需要）簽署接受加密貨幣的協議，每個機構都有靈活性來確定接受數字資產是否與其運營保持一致。

“The state agency may impose a service fee for each transaction in cryptocurrency to reimburse the state for any actual costs incurred by the state in processing such transactions, which service fee shall be limited to the actual cost to the state, including, but not limited to, network transaction charges or other fees incurred during processing,” the bill added.

該法案補充說：“國家機構可以為加密貨幣中的每筆交易徵收服務費，以償還州在處理此類交易時所產生的任何實際費用，該費用應僅限於國家的實際成本，包括但不限於網絡交易費用或處理過程中所產生的其他費用。”

If approved, the bill will go into effect 90 days after being signed into law.

如果獲得批准，該法案將在簽署為法律後90天生效。

While the bill signals a more crypto-friendly stance in New York, not all state leaders support it.

雖然該法案在紐約發出更友好的立場，但並非所有州領導人都支持它。

Attorney General Letitia James recently urged federal lawmakers to enact stronger regulatory frameworks for the crypto industry in a separate statement of her own.

總檢察長萊蒂蒂亞·詹姆斯（Letitia James）最近敦促聯邦議員在自己的另一份聲明中為加密貨幣行業製定更強大的監管框架。

James said in her statement that, without clear federal oversight, digital assets could erode the dominance of the US dollar, expose national security risks and facilitate illegal financial activity.

詹姆斯在她的聲明中說，如果沒有明確的聯邦監督，數字資產可能會侵蝕美元的統治地位，暴露國家安全風險並促進非法財務活動。

“A strong dollar is in America’s national interest. It means there is demand for and confidence in US institutions and the US economy. America should defend the prime position of the US dollar for global transactions—a position that Bitcoin, which can instantly transfer value globally, threatens,” James said in her statement.

詹姆斯在聲明中說：“一美元符合美國的國家利益。這意味著對美國機構和美國經濟的需求和信心。美國應該捍衛美元對全球交易的主要地位，這一位置可以立即在全球範圍內轉移價值，”詹姆斯在聲明中說。

She added that bad actors can use cryptocurrencies to bypass traditional financial systems, fund adversarial regimes or support criminal enterprises.

她補充說，不良行為者可以使用加密貨幣繞過傳統的金融體系，資助對抗性政權或支持犯罪企業。

Despite acknowledging the innovative potential of blockchain, James highlighted the critical need for federal intervention to mitigate the risks posed by cryptocurrencies.

儘管承認區塊鏈的創新潛力，但詹姆斯強調了聯邦干預以減輕加密貨幣帶來的風險的關鍵需求。

In her recommendations to Congress, James urged the integration of anti-money laundering requirements for platforms handling digital assets, necessitating registration for issuers and intermediaries.

詹姆斯在給國會的建議中敦促整合處理數字資產的平台的反洗錢要求，需要對發行人和中介機構進行註冊。

Moreover, she advised against permitting contributions to retirement accounts in cryptocurrencies and recommended imposing limitations on the use of cryptocurrencies for tax payments.

此外，她建議不要以加密貨幣為退休帳戶捐款，並建議對使用加密貨幣的使用限制。

Her recommendations are designed to protect investors, promote market transparency and safeguard the broader economy.

她的建議旨在保護投資者，促進市場透明度並保護更廣泛的經濟。

“As Congress takes the mantle to propose legislation governing the cryptocurrency industry, we hope it also takes action to mitigate the risks posed by the industry to America’s national security, financial stability, and citizens,” James concluded in her statement.

詹姆斯在她的聲明中總結道：“當國會採用地幔提出管理加密貨幣行業的立法時，我們希望這也採取行動來減輕該行業對美國國家安全，金融穩定和公民的風險。”

As New York continues to navigate the evolving landscape of digital assets, officials remain divided on how best to balance innovation with long-term financial security.

隨著紐約繼續瀏覽數字資產不斷發展的景觀，官員們在如何最好地平衡創新與長期財務安全方面保持了分歧。

If the state's move to accept tax payments in Bitcoin comes to fruition, it could set a precedent.

如果國家接受比特幣中接受納稅的舉動實現，則可以樹立先例。
