A common issue in our advisory work is the classification of trading activities involving digital assets as securities dealer activity. We regularly assist clients in assessing whether their trading activities meet the criteria for securities dealer classification and understanding the tax implications associated with it.
We analyze trading volumes, transaction frequency, and market activities to determine whether the thresholds for securities dealer qualification are exceeded. Our support includes documenting trading activities, ensuring compliance with tax reporting obligations, and optimizing trading structures to minimize tax risks while meeting regulatory requirements. |
