MetaMask developer ConsenSys is dispelling the speculation that they are collecting taxes on cryptocurrency transactions.
The blockchainย tech software company tells its 270,700 Twitter followers that the tax rumor circulating on social media is simply not true.
โWe are aware of tweets circulating with inaccurate information about ConsenSysโ terms of service. Letโs clarify one thing upfront: MetaMask does NOT collect taxes on cryptocurrency transactions, and we have not made any changes to our terms to do so. This claim is false.โ
ConsenSys reveals the inaccurate claim is accordingย to a misreading of MetaMaskโs terms of service. They say the tax provisions only relate to the sales tax charged for their own products and services. They likewise note that they are not new provisions in the terms of service.
โAt ConsenSys, our goal is to make Webย 3.0 universally easy to use, access, and build upon through our suite of products. Itโs criticalย to note that the terms referenced are not new. They apply to our products that are subject to sales tax. The tax section in our terms of service falls under the โ charges and paymentโ section, and it exclusively pertains to products and paid plans offered by ConsenSys.
Forย instance, Infura has credit card developer subscriptions which include sales tax. Legal terminology can be complex, but itโs critical toย say that this section DOES NOT apply to MetaMask or any other products that doย not involve sales tax.โ
ConsenSys vows to remain transparent with its customers and to correct any misinformation in a timely manner. The company likewise advises people with questions about their products and services to reach out to them.
