How is it possible that only one town accepting taxes with bitcoin when the rest of Canada isn't?
Why is it like the central government does not control all the towns in regards to accepting taxes?
It seems some towns are independent and they can do whatever they wish to do. Is there any specific reason for this?
We have a division of powers that spread from the top down. I can't remember the exact breakdown but looked up
this site for a breakdown.
Essentially we have Federal or Central. They can not be overridden by any of the lower levels of government.
Next would be Provincial or a State level of Government.
These 2 entities will collect a Federal Income tax , and Goods and Services Tax, and Provincial sales tax. They also take payment for any forms or services.
Then you have town or city government, Municipal. They collect a property tax. Each level can decide what payment methods they want to use, so it's not surprising to see`1 small town take this opportunity. The reason I point that out is I'd hate for someone to google search and see the government accepts payment that way, as this is a prevalent phone scam across Canada using Bitcoin ATM's
Edit: I forgot to add, that if the federal government were to place a ban on crypto the lower levels would have to comply.
