The post India Crypto Tax Filings Lagged Trading Activity: Reuters appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. India’s tax department reportedly found widespread gaps in crypto tax reporting, warning that offshore exchanges, private wallets and peer-to-peer (P2P) trades are making crypto activity harder to track.  Reuters on Wednesday reported government documents showed that fewer than a quarter of 645,000 individuals who made crypto transactions in the year ending in March 2023 reported the trades on their tax returns. The department also reportedly estimated that India had about 39 million crypto traders holding over $2.1 billion in crypto at the end of May.  The findings add a tax-enforcement factor to the country’s long-running digital asset policy debate, moving the issue beyond the central bank’s financial-stability concerns and into questions on offshore trading and recoverable tax revenue.

India’s Income Tax Department has thrown its weight behind the Reserve Bank of India’s push to restrict cryptocurrencies, citing widespread underreporting and the difficulty of tracing offshore trades, according to government documents reviewed by Reuters. The documents, dated May and June, show the central bank restating a position it has held for years. The RBI wants India’s policy on digital assets to be “leaning towards prohibition.” It also wants banks and other financial institutions barred from holding, trading, or taking any exposure to crypto or privately issued stablecoins, stating that such links could spread trouble across the country’s financial system. What is new is the tax department’s public backing. Officials told the government that trades routed through overseas exchanges are hard to monitor, which raises the risk of evasion.
