Illinois’ 0.2% Crypto Tax: Small Rate, Dangerous Precedent
Illinois passed SB 3019, introducing a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions by Illinois residents.
At first glance, 0.2% may seem insignificant. Clinton Donnelly argues that the real issue is not the size of the tax. It is the precedent it creates.
In this episode, Clinton explains:
- What the Illinois Digital Asset Tax Act does
- Why it is being described as a “privilege tax”
- Which exchanges and brokers may be affected
- Why small taxes can grow over time
- The Boston Tea Party comparison
- Why Illinois could push crypto investors and businesses elsewhere
- Why Clinton sees the policy as anti-growth and pro-corruption
The central question is simple:
Once a tax exists, how confident are you that it stays at 0.2%?
