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 %} - </p> - </div> -</div> - -<!-- Example row of columns --> -<div class="container adorn_h3_bracket"> - <div class="row"> - <div class="col-lg-6"> - <h3>{{ _("Taxable") }}</h3> - - <p> - {% 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 %} - </p> - - <p> - {% 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 %} - </p> - - </p> - </div> - <div class="col-lg-6"> - <h3>{{ _("Secure") }}</h3> - - <p> - {% 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 %} - </p> - - <p> - {% 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 %} - </p> - </div> - </div> - <div class="row"> - <div class="col-lg-6"> - <h3>{{ _("Libre") }}</h3> - - <p> - {% trans %} - Taler is free software implementing an open protocol - standard.
