IBA 2019

Jake Kaplan will speak on the panel “New Assets, New Planning: Personal Tax and Estate Planning for a Blockchain World, Including Cryptocurrency and Other Crypto Assets” at this conference hosted by the International Bar Association (IBA). New inventions bring new assets to leave to one’s heirs and new sources of revenue for the taxman to tax. The hearth tax and window tax may have had their day, but the asset classes built on blockchain technology are just getting started, and the taxman is waking up to their potential. Our panel will review what tax you might expect in different jurisdictions when you sell crypto assets, how to reduce your tax exposure, and how you might leave such assets to the next generation.
