Some of my #fiatFreinds argued last night ( satuday influence) - how would government tax people if #btc beacme the legal tender ? .. here were my answers .. let me know if I am wrong

- Salaried class is probably the most taxed population. Employers can withhold income tax in btc just the way they do in #fiat regime. Employees may file taxes as usual to claim refund or pay dues.

- Corporate tax is is vetted by internal auditors and prepared by CPAs. There is no reason for them to evade tax just because the tender is #btc .

- Sales tax is collected by the sellers and remitted. They can easily charge tax in btc just the way they compute pricing in fiat.

- Property tax is assessed on the property . It doesn't really matter if you pay in Fiat or pay in btc cuz you got to pay it anyways .

- Inheritance is the only thing that might become an issue but in USA 25 million is any way tax free ( thanks to Trump) .. Anyone getting more than 25 million in inheritance would sure need a CPA or an assessor ..

- Sale of property is always done by brokers . Hard to evade tax whichever currency you deal in ...

- Capital gains are most difficult thing to hide because all the record is with your broker anyways ..

Is there anything I missed ?

Imagine if government taxed people in btc and the value of btc grew as projected .. how much richer government would be and how much public good they may do with that kind of stash
