Brazilian Lawmakers to Debate New Cryptocurrency Tax Proposal

According to Foresight News, Brazilian legislators are set to discuss a new cryptocurrency tax proposal introduced by President Lula. The proposal suggests a fixed 17.5% tax on all transactions, removing the previous income tax exemption for small transactions. This measure, which took effect in June, also targets decentralized financial activities. A hearing on the proposal is scheduled for August 6. To remain valid, the proposal must be confirmed within 120 days of its enactment. The deadline for this decision is October 8. If not approved by this date, the measure will become void.
