new hampshire crypto tax payment bill approved by houseThe bill calling for tax payments through cryptocurrencies in New Hampshire dubbed the House bill 470-FN has been approved unanimously. The bill was presented to the House Subcommittee in January.
The bill is now ready and proceeding to approval from the Senate and the House of Representatives. Once the bill is approved through both these channels, it would then proceed to the Governor’s office, and it is only after the final approval from the Governor that the bill would be transformed into the law of the land.
Once transformed into law the state of New Hampshire would then devise a plan for the statewide implementation of the same. Given all approvals, the bill is accepted to be implemented as a law for tax returns starting in July 2020.
New Hampshire is among the league of states currently undergoing a legislative change that would, in turn, transform the cryptocurrencies into a state-level acceptable form of payment for taxes. Ohio and Indiana are among other states currently undergoing the legislative changes.
The first step for New Hampshire in the implementation phase would require the state to bring in a third party as the payment processor facilitating the collections. The third party has to ensure that there is no cost incurred to the state for these transactions. BitPay is currently serving as the third party in the state of Ohio.
