IRS Might Monitor the Testing of Coinbase Card in UK

Stuart Pearson by Stuart Pearson

Home Cryptocurrency News

Coinbase -a platform that enables users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, continues to enhance its services and to support user needs. Earlier, Coinbase introduced a crypto debit card along with Shift Card. Unfortunately, in 2019, Shift Card –the debit card provider closed its services, this made Coinbase go through a difficult situation. However, Coinbase instantly overcame this situation with the Coinbase Card.

The Coinbase Card of Coinbase was initially launched in the United Kingdom. The Coinbase Card allows users to convert their cryptocurrencies into GBP via ATMs or through POS buying. Users are requested to download the relevant card app to retrieve their card information, which is even connected to their crypto account. Paysafe has issued the debit card, and it can be controlled over the Coinbase’s card app.

The card app is available for both the users, iOS and Android, it works perfectly over the devices. The customers can swap the card between wallets and make use of any cryptocurrencies listed on the Coinbase platform or offered by Coinbase. Mostly, customers are recommended to make use of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to do shopping. Apart from this, the app allows shoppers to receive payments receipts of the shopping they do in stores and provides transactions details to users.

Coinbase Card Transaction Fee

If you have a Coinbase card and want to use it in the United Kingdom, then you need to know about the fees charged by Coinbase. There are some transactions fees charged for every purchasing you make. The fee is slightly different from those of VisaCard. The issuance of the card is around $6.48, and every purchase fee is around 2.49 percent.

The fee amount is divided into two parts, out of 2.49 percent, 1 percent is the transaction fee for each purchase and remaining 1.49 percent is the conversion charges to convert cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies.

The community is happy over this development, but it’s hard to convince doubters as they remain defiant. Skeptics are alleging Coinbase for attempting to earn more revenue from their users. Though they are not only stopping here, they are going a step ahead and trying to influence crypto users not to adopt the Coinbase Card and make use of the internet to do shopping.

Autonomous Research former employee, Lex Sokolin says that:

“Riding the open loop network of Visa and Mastercard is a faster way to market, but not a transformational one in terms of industry economics.”

Meanwhile, UK Coinbase CEO, Zeeshan Feroz reacted to criticism and said the objective of the Coinbase platform is to develop a more advanced and open financial system. The mission of the company still remains the same from the beginning to make it easy to trade with cryptocurrencies.

He mentioned the card can be used by the users at numerous locations across the globe; they can pay via chip, contactless and PIN and even remove cash from ATMs.

IRS Tracking Crypto Shoppers

Users using Coinbase Card in the US needs to pay more than that of the UK due to capital tax gains, something the government is thinking off. Each and every transaction will be verified and the Internal Revenue Services will monitor the card internally. Tax will be imposed for converting currencies and will even impose charges on retail purchases, similar to credit cards.

If IRS is successful in imposing the taxes as per their plan, then the card will be highly expensive for Americans.
