Web 3 Explained

Transforming the World Wide Web is its third generation Web 3, which connects internet users in real-time and controls information and big data. While the first generation (Web 1) provides information, the second energizing generation (Web 2), focuses on data overload. All the worldwide web generations utilize technologies and have different uses, but Web 3 is quickly advancing with phenomenal technologies and features.

Since 2012, the evolution of blockchain, or a decentralized distributed ledger for digital assets, has been changing the internet resulting in tax and accounting complications. We have the metaverse that allows internet users to experience virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in the digital and physical world. It creates a virtual environment for investing in decentralized finance tokens, shopping, gaming, building wealth, socializing, and entertaining with opportunities for its users. Acquiring accounting and tax services may be necessary for companies and individuals to record decentralized finance transactions accurately in preparation for the inevitable duty of reporting to the IRS.

Examples of this advancing technology include the metaverse, which allows internet users to experience virtual reality and augmented reality in the digital and physical world. This technology has also created a virtual environment for investing in decentralized finance tokens.

Also referred to as DeFi, decentralized finance tokens are a class of financial products that are built on blockchain, and are a subset within the larger cryptocurrency space.

Finding a trusted CPA to assist with tax and accounting services may be necessary if you find yourself dealing with decentralized finance transactions that you’ll eventually need to report on your tax return.

What is Web 3 and its Effect on Tax?

Web 3 is the next generational world wide web comprising advanced technologies with features including:

Open-source software programming interfaces, information formats, and protocols with interoperable capabilities between devices and platforms;
Distributed cloud computing services, artificial intelligence, and machine learning which is driving the Web 3 in contextual searches for information online;
A brilliant semantic web enabling the creation of data and describing things for users;
Virtualization modelling in 3-D using device connections.

While still in its early stage, decentralized finance regulations and laws may be relevant for accounting and tax purposes involving cryptocurrencies. Transactions involving Web 3 crypto tokens on blockchains and exchanges may eventually result in tax consequences and penalties if left unreported to the IRS. If left unaccounted for on your financial statements as a publicly-traded company, the omission of Web 3 transactions could be ruled an SEC violation.

The Need for Web 3 Accounting and Tax Services

Proper classification of digital financial assets and transactions can be challenging because of the following:

Digital currencies, such as the Web 3 tokens that include Doge, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, are forms of payment. Tokens used as payments are for the exchange of products or services or to store value as a measurable unit.
Asset & financial or security tokens are tradeable as investments and meet the security classification under the laws of governments.
Consumer or utility tokens assist in accessing or exchanging services or goods.

Accounting software integration may help reduce the burdens of decentralized finance tax and accounting for companies, investors, and investment management firms. To be able to accurately classify NFTs, the metaverse coin, and other crypto-assets, it may be beneficial to work with a specialist CPA that has experience in evaluating economic purpose, right, and liabilities. Knowing how an asset derives its integral value is another part of the evaluation process to classify crypto assets that could have an impact on your financial and tax reporting.
