Llegan los controles gubernamentales a las criptomonedas - Government controls arrive on cryptocurrencies

El proyecto de Ley de Medidas de Prevención y Lucha contra el Fraude Fiscal, aprobado por el Gobierno Español el pasado mes de octubre, pone en el punto de mira las criptomonedas, y exigirá, que sean declaradas y se informe de su saldo.

The draft Law on Prevention and Fight Against Tax Fraud, approved by the Spanish Government last October, puts cryptocurrencies in the spotlight, and will demand that they be declared and their balance reported.

A la espera que se apruebe definitivamente, a día de hoy, parece, que los titulares de criptomonedas con saldos superiores a 50.000€ entre todos los exchanges extranjeros, estarán obligados a declarar en el modelo 720 (Declaración de bienes en el extranjero), equiparando estos activos, con los del mercado de valores. Esta regulación, exigirá a las empresas locales que ofrezcan servicios de custodia, información sobre los saldos y titulares de monedas virtuales. Contradictoriamente, quedarían exentos de ser declarados, los saldos en cold wallets. Otro punto que desconocemos, es si serán regulados los beneficios obtenidos vía stake, airdrops, etc.

Waiting for it to be definitively approved, as of today, it seems that cryptocurrency holders with balances greater than € 50,000 among all foreign exchanges, will be required to declare in model 720 (Declaration of assets abroad), equating these assets, with those of the stock market. This regulation will require local companies to offer custody services, information on the balances and holders of virtual currencies. Contradictorily, the balances in cold wallets would be exempt from being declared. Another point that we do not know is whether the benefits obtained via stake, airdrops, etc. will be regulated.

Vale la pena aclarar, que rellenando el modelo 720, no estamos obligados a pagar el impuesto propiamente, pero, por el contrario, estaríamos dando mucha información sobre nuestros criptoactivos. En este apartado habría que resaltar, que la actual normativa vinculada al modelo 720, establece importantes sanciones si se incumple, estando obligado a presentarlo. En caso de no informar, o de aportar datos incompletos, falsos o inexactos, la ley establecería sanciones de 5.000€ por cada dato o conjunto de datos que debieron incluirse en la declaración, con un mínimo de 10.000€.

It is worth clarifying that by filling out form 720, we are not obliged to pay the tax properly, but, on the contrary, we would be giving a lot of information about our crypto assets. In this section, it should be noted that the current regulations linked to model 720, establishes important penalties if it is not complied with, being obliged to present it. In case of not reporting, or providing incomplete, false or inaccurate data, the law would establish penalties of € 5,000 for each piece of information or data set that should have been included in the declaration, with a minimum of € 10,000.

En definitiva, los Gobierno quiere tener un mayor control y sobre todo información sobre el uso de las criptomonedas, y así alcanzar una recaudación más agresiva. Para evitar cualquiera sorpresa en el futuro cercano, deberíamos fomentar el uso de cold wallets, llevar un registro de las operaciones que realicemos con nuestros activos, e intentar mantenernos lo más informados posibles.

Governments in general want to have greater control and especially information on the use of cryptocurrencies, and thus achieve a more aggressive collection. To avoid any surprises in the near future, we should encourage the use of cold wallets, keep a record of the operations we carry out with our assets, and try to stay as informed as possible.
