Russia has approved new regulations to tax income from cryptocurrency mining and trading. According to the Ministry of Finance, cryptocurrencies will now be classified as property, and mining income will be taxed based on market value. Miners will be allowed to deduct operational expenses from their taxable income.
Cryptocurrency transactions will be exempt from VAT, but trading income will be subject to the same tax rates as securities, with a personal income tax rate of 15%.
The new regulations will also require mining infrastructure providers to report user information, aiming to enhance transparency and regulation within the crypto sector.
Russia first introduced cryptocurrency taxation laws in 2020. With these new measures, the country seeks to eliminate legal uncertainties and strengthen oversight in the industry.
