\"Russian<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a new framework for cryptocurrency taxation, officially recognizing digital assets as property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This legislation also applies to digital currencies used in foreign trade settlements under the “experimental legal regime (ELR).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto Mining and Sales Exempt from VAT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the new regulations\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, digital currency mining and sales are exempt from value-added tax (VAT). Additionally, services related to transactions within the electronic payment system (EPR), including cryptocurrency, will not be subject to tax liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, operators of crypto-mining infrastructure must inform tax authorities about users engaging their services for crypto issuance. Failure to report this information on time may result in a penalty of 40,000 rubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law specifies that cryptocurrency earned through mining will be subject to personal income tax, calculated based on the currency's market value at the time of acquisition. Mining-related expenses will be eligible for deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Income from activities such as acquisition, sale, or other digital currency transactions will be taxed under a two-tier structure: a 13% tax for earnings up to 2.4 million rubles and 15% for income exceeding that amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be integrated into the same tax base as earnings from securities, bank deposits, and other financial sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For corporate income tax, digital currency mining will be taxed at the standard corporate rate of 25%, set to take effect in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Russia finalizes its crypto taxation rules, other jurisdictions like Hong Kong are moving towards complete tax exemptions for cryptocurrency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong\u2019s approach<\/a>, aimed at establishing itself as Asia's crypto hub, may attract investor capital, particularly from regions like China, where digital assets face significant regulatory challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrictions and Exclusions in the Crypto Tax Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new crypto taxation law includes restrictions for certain businesses and individuals involved in mining and cryptocurrency sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These entities will be ineligible for simplified taxation systems such as the single agricultural tax or the “Automated Simplified Taxation System.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the patent system and the self-employed tax regime will not apply to mining or digital currency transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law will come into effect upon its official publication, though specific provisions will have staggered implementation timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the onset of the Ukraine war, Russia has increasingly relied on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to bypass Western sanctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the recent BRICS summit, member nations discussed the potential use of cryptocurrencies for cross-border payments, signaling a shift toward leveraging digital assets in international trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
