Cash App updated its tax policy on June 24, 2026, restructuring how it describes tax obligations across Virtual Currency Services, Remittance Services, and general service use. The company removed a section that explicitly stated users are responsible for determining applicable taxes on Virtual Currency transactions and reporting to tax authorities. In its place, the updated terms add broader language stating users are responsible for determining taxes, fees, and governmental charges on all service use, and introduce explicit language authorizing the company to charge Indirect Taxes (sales, use, VAT, GST, and similar) as required by law. The updated terms also add formal language describing tax reporting obligations and information-sharing practices with governmental authorities.
Consumers: You are responsible for figuring out what taxes apply to all your Cash App transactions, not just cryptocurrency purchases.
Consumers: Cash App can now charge you applicable sales, use, or similar taxes on purchases, and you agree to pay them.
Consumers: Cash App may ask you to provide information and update it over time so they can report tax information to authorities.
Consumers: Cash App will report your tax information to government authorities as required by law and may send you copies of what they report.
The updated terms restructure tax obligations and add explicit authorization for the company to charge Indirect Taxes on purchases. Previously, the terms focused on Virtual Currency-specific tax responsibilities; the revised language applies tax obligations to all service use, including general purchases and use. The updated terms now explicitly state that the company may charge applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, and similar taxes as required by law, which users agree to pay. The terms also clarify that users are responsible for determining taxes, fees, and governmental charges on all transactions and reporting to relevant authorities. Additionally, the company adds language stating it may report certain tax information to governmental authorities and may request recertification of user information for tax reporting purposes. No specific opt-out or action mechanism is provided; the updated terms apply to all users subject to applicable law.
