Description
New inventions bring new assets to leave to one’s heirs and new sources of revenue for the taxman to tax. The hearth tax and window tax may have had their day but the asset classes built on blockchain technology are just getting started and the taxman is waking up to their potential. Our expert panel will review what tax you might expect in different jurisdictions when you sell cryptoassets, how to reduce your tax exposure and how you might leave such assets to the next generation.
