Topic: [2016-08-12]Russian Tax Service: bitcoin trade to be taxed (Read 342 times)
the Russian Deputy Minister of Finance Alexey Moiseev noted that, while forbidding the issuance of cryptocurrency in the country because it contradicts the Constitution, the Ministry would allow its purchase to be used for purchases abroad. Technically, it meant bringing the legal status of cryptocurrency close to foreign currencies.
Usually when there is Bitcoin related news from Russia, it's always about something negative in the way of bans, and punishing people for even using it. This time it's however not directly a bad article. Officially here where I live in Western Europe, we also need to report our transactions and holdings to the tax authority. However, can't think of anyone actually doing it as it will cost them money.
