Russia plans to introduce a tax on cryptocurrency income
The Russian Ministry of Finance has drafted a bill that would tax individuals' income from transactions involving cryptocurrencies and digital assets. According to Russian media reports, the amendments to the Tax Code have already been approved by a government commission.
This is reported by Russian media.
According to the document, personal income tax will apply to all profits derived from transactions involving cryptocurrency and digital assets, including foreign digital rights. In some cases, income not directly related to the sale of assets—such as dividends or coupon payments—will also be subject to taxation.
It is also proposed to introduce the institution of tax agents—for example, brokers or digital custodians—who will be required to independently calculate and withhold taxes from clients. In cases where no intermediary is involved, investors will continue to declare their income and pay taxes on their own.
