Russian President Putin Signs Law on Cryptocurrency Taxation
According to TASS, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on digital currency taxation, which clearly defines digital currency as property. According to the new law, the mining and sale of digital currencies will be exempt from value-added tax (VAT), and cross-border settlement services will also enjoy tax exemption. However, mining service providers are required to report user information to the tax authorities, and those who fail to report in time will be fined 40,000 rubles.
The digital currency obtained through mining is taxed at market price, with a progressive tax rate of 13%-15%. Enterprises will be subject to a 25% corporate income tax on digital currency mining starting from 2025. The law also restricts the use of special tax policies such as simplified tax systems. The law will take effect from the date of promulgation, and some provisions will have a transition period.
It was reported yesterday that Russia passed a cryptocurrency tax law, redefining the rules for digital currencies .
Japan's Financial Services Agency warns 5 unregistered overseas cryptocurrency exchanges
According to CoinPost, the Japanese Financial Services Agency has issued warnings to five unregistered overseas cryptocurrency exchanges, including KuCoin, bitcastle LLC, Bybit Fintech Limited, MEXC Global, and Bitget Limited.
The Financial Services Agency pointed out that these exchanges provided cryptocurrency trading services to Japanese users without permission, violating Japanese regulations on crypto asset trading. Since unregistered exchanges are not regulated by the Financial Services Agency, the management and security of their customer assets cannot be guaranteed. In the event of a dispute or accident, users may not be able to obtain legal protection, and are not subject to asset preservation or compensation mechanisms under Japanese law.
