Biden Proposes Tax On Crypto Mining Due To 'Harms They Impose On Society'
President Joe Biden has proposed a punitive tax on cryptocurrency mining operations due to the "harms they impose on society."
主席 乔·拜登 已提议对加密货币采矿业务征收惩罚性税，因为 “它们对社会造成的伤害”。
What Happened: In a statement released by the White House CEA on Tuesday, the administration proposes a penalty that could impede profits by levying a tax equal to 30% of a mining company's energy expenses.
发生了什么： 在发表的一份声明中 白宫 CEA 周二，政府提出了一项罚款，该罚款可能会通过征收相当于矿业公司能源支出30％的税来阻碍利润。
The CEA argues that the industry currently enjoys undue financial advantages due to its lack of obligation to cover the full costs of pollution, carbon emissions, and higher energy prices.
CEA认为，该行业目前享有不必要的财务优势，因为它没有义务支付污染、碳排放和更高的能源价格的全部成本。
While the new rules would only apply to cryptocurrency mining, the CEA says "cryptomining does not generate the local and national economic benefits typically associated with businesses using similar amounts of electricity."
虽然新规定仅适用于加密货币挖矿，但CEA表示：“加密采矿不会产生与使用类似电量的企业通常相关的地方和国家经济利益。”
