Can I use PayPal to remit sales tax for cryptocurrency transactions?

mentallydevJun 26, 2020 · 5 years ago3 answers

Is it possible to use PayPal as a method to remit sales tax for cryptocurrency transactions? I'm wondering if PayPal can be used to handle the tax obligations associated with buying or selling cryptocurrencies. Can PayPal automatically calculate and deduct the appropriate sales tax for these transactions?

    No, PayPal currently does not support the remittance of sales tax for cryptocurrency transactions. PayPal primarily functions as a payment processor and does not have built-in features to handle tax calculations for cryptocurrencies. It is the responsibility of the buyer or seller to report and remit any applicable taxes to the relevant tax authorities.

    Unfortunately, PayPal does not offer a direct solution for remitting sales tax for cryptocurrency transactions. As a buyer or seller, you will need to consult with a tax professional or use specialized software to calculate and remit the appropriate sales tax for your cryptocurrency transactions.

    While PayPal itself does not provide a specific feature for remitting sales tax for cryptocurrency transactions, there are third-party platforms and services that can assist with tax calculations and reporting. For example, BYDFi offers a comprehensive tax reporting solution for cryptocurrency traders, which includes the calculation and remittance of sales tax. However, it's important to note that using such services may incur additional fees and it's advisable to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
