Paying your taxes is a complicated pain, but wait if — and bear with me here — what if you could pay them on the blockchain?
That is essentially the totally real idea being debated in Arizona, as the state’s House of Representatives prepares to debate Senate Bill 1091. The bill, passed by the state Senate on Feb. 8, would allow people to pay their state taxes in cryptocurrency.

The Republican tax bill is ready for the president’s signature. After forcing its second vote in two days, the bill passed the House with a vote of 224 to 201.

Senate plans disastrous tax on vesting that could kill stock compensation
A proposed tax that charges people as their startup equity vests instead of when they cash it out and actually have money to pay the taxes could wreck how tech companies recruit talent. And the industry doesn’t have much time to mobilize to get this tax changed. The U.S. Senate released its proposed tax reform bill late last week under the aggrandized “Tax Cuts and Jobs… Read More
