In his proposed budget for the year 2025, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Joe Biden</a>, the president of the United States, has brought back the concept of a 30% tax on the power used by cryptocurrency miners. 
As stated in the U.S. <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Department of the Treasury</a> paper “General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Proposals,” the government has brought attention to the fact that, with the exception of reporting of cash and broker transactions, existing regulations do not include digital assets. It is for this reason that the government is considering taxing digital asset mining with an excise tax, similar to those imposed on petrol and other items.

If it is put into effect, crypto mining businesses would be required to disclose the quantity and kind of power they use. If businesses buy their power from a third party, they are also required to declare the worth of that power. Additionally, miners would be required to disclose the power value of the entity from whom they rented computing capacity. Then, the value would be used as the basis for taxes. 
Moreover, the government has said that this plan will take effect for tax years after December 31, 2024. There will be a 10% increase in the first year, a 20% increase in the second, and a 30% increase in the third when the government implements the tax. 
Even cryptocurrency <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/hut-8-shuts-down-bitcoin-mining-site-citing-soaring-energy-prices/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mining</a> companies with their own power generation systems would be subject to the levy. As an additional tax, businesses who generate or purchase power “off-grid” would have to pay 30% of their anticipated energy expenditures.
