The Central Bank of Russia has proposed classifying cryptocurrencies including bitcoin as digital goods for tax purposes, according to local publications. The draft proposal is due in one month.
According to Skorobogatova, the proposal was supported by all ministries, and the central bank is planning to deliver the first draft of the regulations in a month. This proposal follows her promise in February for the central bank to decide whether digital currencies are considered assets, cash or securities by mid-2017.

It's interesting that it is now recognized I wonder what the exact rules in Russia are regarding the taxes of digital goods.
I do wonder how the Russian Central Bank will try to regulate them though, but it should be interesting.

Russia still can't make up their mind. One day they gonna say they are going to legalize it the next day government will issue another statement. Let just wait till 2018 when they say that they are going to "regulate" bitcoin. Until the decision is final, I would agree with richardsNY, take everything with a huge bag of salt.

Everything Bitcoin related that comes from Russia should be taken with a huge load of salt. It has been like this for years, where one day things look very good, and the other day they completely change their stance towards Bitcoin negatively. I prefer to focus on countries that actually DO something, instead of the usual dose of gibberish that comes from Russia....

it's Great ! Cool

What's good? The government will tax bitcoins. This will result in many users simply refusing to use bitcoin.
And this is absolutely not what is now needed bitcoin
I have already said so many times and will not tire of recalling that in the current situation Bitcoin can not be implemented. The fact is that already no one can earn such a profit and all the interest that you have will be given to the state. And as is usually the case, it is the financial transaction that is more taxable.

The Russian economy is not in very good condition. Russia does not belong to countries where innovations are introduced into the sphere of finance. That is why the government will not accept the Cryptocurrency. It's too early to talk about it
