Light Shed on Cryptocurrency Taxation Rules: Ireland
Crypto future

Ireland officials have released the Tax and Duty Manual with the target to clarify the situation with taxation of crypto-related activities. The rules and description notes that standard regulations apply to the cryptoverse.

The Irish gov agency that deals with taxation and customs – The Irish Revenue Commissioners, highlighted that the manual published does not determine or cover any regulatory aspect while it can be used as a reference for taxes.

Following the document-walkthrough, capital gains, income and corporation tax are fitting but should be analyzed separate. In general, businesses accepting crypto payments for goods or services should keep records of crypto transactions.

Until now no new or special rules have been made public which results with taxable profits to be set under current tax legislation.

The profits and losses of a company transacting in cryptocurrency must be reflected in accounts and are taxable under “normal CT rules,” the document states. Ireland’s Taxes Consolidation Act from 1997 recognizes that some businesses operate and prepare their accounts in a “functional currency” other than euro.

According to the authorities, keeping in mind that cryptos are still not considered functional currencies, accounts that are setup for tax purposes are to be maintained with traditional currencies.

“Profits and losses of a non-incorporated business on cryptocurrency transactions must be reflected in their accounts and will be taxable on normal income tax rules,”

The most trading by volume per exchange is going for the Asian based platforms. Bithumb is leading with 19.63% volume in the last 24-hours for the EOS/KRW pair. Upbit follows up at 15.39% volume. Despite clearing the daily declining trend, the pair is struggling for now to break above $12.20 which could take some time. But, as the market in general is moving upward, the same wave probably will take EOS even higher.

EOS mainnet plans on being the most powerful platform for decentralized apps with superior smart contract capability to that of Ethereum. TRX and EOS are currently an ERC20 tokens which means you can use your Ethereum wallet address to send and receive them.

According to the Exodus Movement, which recommends registering your EOS address, all ERC20 tokens will be frozen on June 1;

“EOS Mainnet tokens are to be distributed in a 1:1 ratio to the ERC20 tokens held by registered addresses. The current ERC20 EOS tokens are simply placeholders. All tokens are said to be swapped for Mainnet EOS tokens after the launch of the Mainnet.”

Very similar to IOTA which was looking to find a way to solve existing problems and issues that cryptocurrencies are facing right now, EOS developers believe that the famous scaling problems are solved with which bitcoin and Ethereum do deal quite a lot.

It is a platform which give the opportunity to developers to work on decentralized apps on a blockchain architecture and environment that plans to bring the best smart contracts tech into this platform.

EOS functions on the DPoS mechanism and has only 21 block producers who are responsible for validating each block. Having only 21 full nodes to confirm a transaction results in a net increase in the number of transactions that can be processed every second. Each block producer can mine only one block at a time. They take turns to mine a new block after every half a second.
