Project Overview

Summary

The North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR) administers tax laws and collects taxes due in an impartial, consistent, and secure manner. It is the goal of NCDOR that all taxpayers voluntarily comply with their tax obligations. This means filing and paying all returns due and taxes owed in a timely manner. With the increasing use of cryptocurrency exchanges, NCDOR is seeking an analysis of the impact of cryptocurrency transactions on NC tax obligations.

Planned use of results

The analyses can help inform NCDOR on how to successfully enforce tax compliance related to digital currency and peer-to-peer cash apps.

The project is complete.

We’re eager to learn how you use the results and welcome any questions.
