Revix Tax: How it works
South African users have until October 24, 2022, to register their cryptocurrency gains or losses for tax purposes. Revix Tax is a product of a partnership between Revix and Tax Consulting South Africa (TCSA). The firm is at the forefront of all tax compliance-related issues and comprises experienced attorneys, chartered accountants, and compliance specialists. TCSA assists South African taxpayers with the appropriate guidance when handling their tax-related questions relating to crypto assets. TCSA is a pioneer in the field of regulatory tax compliance and a prominent voice in the field of tax regulation and compliance.
Revix Tax is accessible through a simple web gateway to Revix and non-Revix customers for the tax filing season. By consolidating cryptocurrency transaction history and doing all of the grunt work involved in computing taxes, this service was created to provide users with more clarity regarding the tax treatment of their holdings in digital assets. With more than 10,000 cryptocurrencies and compatibility for over 300 exchanges, Revix Tax gives customers everything they need to comply with tax laws.
How to get started with Revix Tax
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) does not have access to users’ personal information from Revix. Revix shares users’ information with their tax partners so they may compute the taxes owed on their cryptocurrency investments. From there, customers can confidently handle cryptocurrency taxes using the included Crypto Tax Pack. Users can accept or reject the quote they received without any conditions once they have requested a quote to compute their taxes. Users must submit a payment for the specified amount to proceed. After that, Revix Tax will perform the necessary calculations to create a Crypto tax bundle.
Users may utilize this service while holding other wallets or exchanges. Before Revix can offer a tax quote, users must collect the relevant records of their transactions from other platforms and exchanges. Users must submit a whole set of statements covering the required tax period; otherwise, Revix Tax won’t be able to produce appropriate tax packs. The exchange manages every step of this process if a user’s assets are restricted to a Revix account.
Issues and occurrences while using Revix Tax
Revix does not share users’ information with tax authorities. There are now no laws or requirements that compel Revix to do this, but they might be included in the future. It implies that users are responsible for accurately disclosing their cryptocurrency winnings and losses to SARS. For clarity, there is no way to avoid paying taxes, and dealing with cryptocurrencies does not fall within this category. Users have two options: they can rely on accountants with limited knowledge and run the danger of a SARS audit, penalties, interest, and criminal penalties, or they can seek out the right specialist and legal counsel beforehand. With the Revix Tax, clarity is the key to safety in this situation.
Security
Regarding security, user details are not shared with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). A proof-of-reserve report on assets in custody is produced by Revix Tax every quarter using Mazars, a renowned worldwide audit, tax, and consultancy firm. Revix complies with all local South African fiscal laws and uses Jumio to maintain the highest levels of worldwide KYC and AML compliance standards. Microsoft and HSBC also trust Jumio.
Fees and limits
The price for Revix Tax service starts at R 5500 for a finished tax pack and varies depending on how complicated the users’ investing activities are. With Revix, there are no costs associated with safely preserving users’ digital assets.
