Odaily Planet Daily News: Russia proposed a draft amendment through the Ministry of Finance on Monday, suggesting a 15% tax on cryptocurrency earnings as part of broader measures to regulate cryptocurrency mining and trading. The proposed changes will reshape the tax framework for cryptocurrency miners, affecting income, expenses, and related infrastructure. Income from mining output tokens will be taxed at market value upon receipt, with miners allowed to deduct operating costs, ensuring a balanced tax calculation. According to the proposed amendment, cryptocurrencies will be classified as property for taxation. Additionally, the new framework eliminates value-added tax (VAT) on cryptocurrency transactions, and income generated from these transactions will be taxed similarly to securities trading. The proposed rules also include obligations for mining infrastructure operators. These operators will be required to notify tax authorities of individuals using their facilities for mining, but it remains unclear what specific data needs to be disclosed. (Interfax)
