{{ _("Advantages for Governments") }}

+

+ {% trans %} + Taler provides accountability to ensure business operate + legally, while also respecting civil liberties of + citizens. Taler is a payment system based on + open standards and free software. Taler needs + governments as they set a financial framework and act as + trusted regulators. Taler contributes to digital + sovereignty in the critical financial infrastructure. + {% endtrans %} +

+
+
+ + +
+
+
+

{{ _("Taxable") }}

+ +

+ {% trans %} + Taler was built with the goal of fighting corruption and + supporting taxation. With Taler, the receiver of any + form of payment is easily identified by the government, + and the merchant can be compelled to provide the contract + that was accepted by the customer. Governments can use + this data to tax businesses and individuals based on + their income, making tax evasion and black markets less + viable. + {% endtrans %} +

+ +

+ {% trans %} + Thus, despite offering anonymity for citizens spending + digital cash to buy goods and services, Taler also + ensures that the state can observe incoming funds. This + can be used to ensure businesses engage only in legal + activities, and do not evade income tax, sales tax or + value-added tax. However, this observational capability + does not extend to the immediate personal domain. In + particular, monitoring does not cover shared access to + funds with trusted friends and family, or synchronizing + wallets across multiple devices. + {% endtrans %} +

+ +

+
+
+

{{ _("Secure") }}

+ +

+ {% trans %} + Taler's payments are cryptographically secured. Thus, + customers, merchants and the Taler payment service provider + (the exchange) can mathematically + demonstrate their lawful behavior in court in case of + disputes. Financial damages are strictly limited, + improving economic security for individuals, merchants, + the exchange and the state. + {% endtrans %} +

+ +

+ {% trans %} + As a payment service provider, the Taler exchange is + subject to financial regulation. Financial regulation and + regular audits are critical to establish trust. In + particular, the Taler design mandates the existence of an + independent auditor who checks cryptographic proofs that + accumulate at the exchange to ensure that the escrow + account is managed honestly. This ensures that the + exchange does not threaten the economy due to fraud. + {% endtrans %} +

+
+
+
+
+

{{ _("Libre") }}

+ +

+ {% trans %} + Taler is free software implementing an open protocol + standard. Thus, Taler will enable competition and avoid + the monopolization of payment systems that threatens + global political and financial stability today. + {% endtrans %} +

+ +
+
+

{{ _("Efficient") }}

+ +

+ {% trans %} + Taler has an efficient design. Unlike + Blockchain-based payment systems, such as Bitcoin, + Taler will not threaten the availability of + national electric grids or (significantly) + contribute to environmental pollution. + {% endtrans %} +

+ {% trans %} + Taler assumes governments can observe traditional wire transfers + entering and leaving the Taler payment system. Starting with the + wire transfers, governments can obtain: + {% endtrans %} +

    + +
  • + {% trans %} + The total amount of digital currency withdrawn by a + customer. The government can impose limits on how much + digital cash a customer can withdraw within a + given time frame. + {% endtrans %} +
    • + +
  • + {% trans %} + The income received by any merchant via the Taler + system. + {% endtrans %} +
    • + +
  • + {% trans %} + + The exact details of the underlying contract that was + signed between customer and merchant. However, this + information would typically not include the identity + of the customer. + {% endtrans %} +
    • + +
  • + {% trans %} + The amounts of digital coins legitimately withdrawn + by customers from the exchange, the value of + non-redeemed digital coins in customer's wallets, the + value and corresponding wire details of deposit + operations performed by merchants with the exchange, + and the income of the exchange from transaction fees. + {% endtrans %} +
