加密组织联合反对伊利诺伊州加密税，法院将加速审理
Organizations join forces to fight Illinois crypto tax, after 6-month pause
加密创新委员会（CCI）和区块链协会（BA）等组织联合要求法院审理伊利诺伊州即将于2027年生效的数字资产税诉讼。CCI和BA要求法院批准加速审理程序，以尽快决定该税的法律效力。伊利诺伊州官员已同意将0.2%的加密税法实施推迟六个月，从2027年1月1日至7月1日。加速审理程序有望在3月份作出裁决。
The Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) and Blockchain Association (BA) said they would join the Digital Chamber and others to push for a court to address the merits of a lawsuit over Illinois’s digital-asset tax, set to take effect in 2027.
In a Tuesday filing in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, the crypto advocacy organizations asked the court to approve an expedited schedule for summary judgment “to reach a decision on the tax’s lawfulness as quickly as possible.” The filing cited the CCI’s and BA’s lawsuit against Illinois state officials, as well as one filed separately by the Digital Chamber and Illinois Blockchain Association.
“While pausing enforcement of the Digital Asset Tax Act protects Illinois consumers and businesses from this onerous and legally flawed tax until July 1, it remains imperative that the merits are determined as soon as possible,” said CCI CEO Ji Kim.
Earlier this month, Illinois officials agreed to delay implementation of the 0.2% crypto tax law for six months, from Jan. 1 to July 1, 2027. The decision, part of the Digital Chamber’s lawsuit, came in response to claims that the digital asset tax had been “slipped into the state’s budget” without debate or public feedback. Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone said at the time that the organization would continue with legal proceedings “until this tax is struck down for good.”

The expedited schedule, subject to court approval, could allow a decision on the merits of the law by March.
