區塊內幕 Cryptoinsiders 消息- 該稅將在三年內每年逐步實施10％，並涵蓋來自離線和離網源的電力。
The tax would be phased-in at 10% per year over three years and covers electricity generated from both on and off-grid sources.
根據總統喬·拜登旨在“減少挖掘活動”的預算提案，美國加密貨幣挖掘者最終可能會對電費成本徵收30％的稅款。國庫部3月9日發布的一份補充預算解釋文件表示，任何使用資源（無論其是否擁有或租用）的公司都將“徵收相當於數字資產挖掘中使用的電費成本30％的消費稅”。
United States crypto miners could eventually be subject to a 30% tax on electricity costs under a budget proposal by President Joe Biden aimed to “reduce mining activity.”
A Department of the Treasury supplementary budget explainer paper released March 9 said any firm using resources — whether they be owned or rented — would be “subject to an excise tax equal to 30 percent of the costs of electricity used in digital asset mining.”

提議該稅將在12月31日後實施，每年以10％的速度逐步實施三年，到第三年達到最高30％的稅率。
It proposed the tax would be implemented after Dec. 31, phased in over three years at a rate of 10% a year, reaching the max 30% tax rate by the third year.
加密貨幣挖掘者將需要報告“使用的電量和類型以及該電力的價值”。
Crypto miners would have reporting requirements on the “amount and type of electricity used as well as the value of that electricity.”
購買離線的加密貨幣挖掘者仍然需要繳納稅款，並需要估計任何“發電廠”產生的電費成本。
Crypto miners who acquire their electricity needs off-grid would still be subject to the tax and would be required to estimate the electricity costs generated by any “electricity generating plant.”
國庫部為該稅收的理由是，加密貨幣挖掘運營的能源消耗“對環境產生負面影響”，增加了與運營共享電網的人的價格，並為當地公用事業和社區帶來了“不確定性和風險”。
In its reasoning for the tax, the Treasury claimed the energy consumption of crypto mining operations “has negative environmental effects,” increases prices for those sharing a grid with the operations and creates “uncertainty and risks to local utilities and communities.”
“對數字資產挖掘中的電力使用徵收消費稅可以減少挖掘活動及其相關的環境影響和其他危害。” 在3月9日的聲明中，白宮還證實了有關結束加密交易的稅收策略的報導，據估計可籌集240億美元。
“An excise tax on electricity usage by digital asset miners could reduce mining activity along with its associated environmental impacts and other harms.” In a March 9 statement, the White House also confirmed reports that it’s looking to end a tax strategy for crypto transactions that it estimates would raise $24 billion.
現行規定允許加密貨幣投資者以損失售出數字資產以獲得稅收，然後立即購回這些加密貨幣。
Current rules allow crypto investors to sell digital assets at a loss for tax purposes — what’s known as tax-loss harvesting — and then immediately buy back those cryptocurrencies.
新規定將把加密貨幣交易稅規則與股票相一致，不允許這種做法根據洗碗銷售規則。
The new rules would bring crypto trading tax rules in line with stocks, where such a practice is not permitted under wash sale rules.
