NewsUkraine’s parliament approves bill legalizing and taxing cryptocurrencies, setting 18% income tax and 5% military tax.
- Ukraine passes bill taxing cryptocurrency, including a military tax.
- 248 lawmakers supported the legislation.
- Crypto-to-fiat conversions to receive preferential tax treatment.
Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, passed the first reading of a bill legalizing and taxing cryptocurrencies with 246 votes on Wednesday.
The bill proposes income and military taxes on crypto profits, potentially increasing budget receipts for defense, affecting cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The new legislation impacts various digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. It addresses how these assets are viewed in a legal context without classifying them as a form of legal tender.
Key stakeholders, such as government and industry participants, anticipate that the bill will enhance regulatory clarity. This move is expected to increase budget receipts, supporting defense and fiscal needs.
The crypto market, particularly in Ukraine, is watching closely. As of now, the broader community is optimistic yet cautious about the upcoming changes before the second reading.
Historical comparisons note the unique approach of Ukraine’s military tax on crypto profits. The bill separates itself from past legislation by introducing comprehensive rules and specific tax allocations, particularly for military funding.
