Walter Hellerstein, a Distinguished Research Professor and Shackelford Distinguished Professor in Taxation Law Emeritus, recently delivered a presentation at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Working Party No. 9 on Consumption Taxes. The meeting took place in Paris, France.
Hellerstein's presentation was titled "Overview of U.S. Federal Income Tax Reporting Regulations for Brokers of Crypto-Assets." This topic is particularly relevant as governments worldwide continue to address the taxation challenges posed by digital currencies.
The event was part of an ongoing series of discussions organized by the OECD to examine tax issues related to consumption taxes.
