Common Challenges in Web3

Web3 Regulation

The Web3 industry may find itself operating in a regulatory grey zone, with many countries still developing tax policies for assets like cryptocurrencies and tokens. This lack of clear guidance leaves businesses and individuals uncertain about their tax obligations, and inconsistent regulations across jurisdictions make compliance even more difficult for those involved in international transactions.

Valuation and Reporting of Crypto Assets

Web3 platforms face high compliance costs, especially with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. For decentralized platforms without centralized control or formal corporate structures, ensuring compliance can be complex and costly, with failure to meet these standards leading to significant penalties.

Web3 Compliance
Cost Basis Tracking

Valuing and reporting crypto assets is challenging due to their extreme volatility. Determining the fair market value at the time of transactions, especially for small, frequent, or DeFi-related activities, adds complexity, making it difficult to accurately report income, gains, or losses for tax purposes.

Tracking the cost basis of crypto assets is difficult because Web3 transactions can involve multiple, frequent trades and decentralized protocols. This complexity makes it hard for users and businesses to maintain accurate records of the original acquisition cost, which is essential for correctly calculating capital gains and tax liabilities.

Web3’s decentralized nature enables seamless cross-border transactions, but this also complicates tax reporting and compliance. Determining where income or gains are realized and which jurisdiction’s tax laws apply is difficult, especially when there are no clear geographic ties to the transaction or entity involved.

Cross-Border Transactions
Accounting for DAOs and Decentralized Protocols

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and decentralized protocols present unique accounting challenges due to their lack of centralized control and traditional organizational structures. Tracking revenue, expenses, and income attribution is complicated, as there is often no clear entity responsible for financial reporting, making tax compliance and transparent accounting difficult to manage.
