🔴 Ukraine plans to introduce an 18% tax on profits from cryptocurrencies
The National Securities Commission of Ukraine has presented a draft for the taxation of cryptocurrencies. If approved, from 2025, income from crypto will be subject to an 18% income tax and a 5% military tax.
📌 What is included in the taxation:
— Sale of crypto for fiat
— Payment for goods and services with digital assets
— Income from mining, staking, and airdrops (if in fiat)
📌 What will not be taxed:
— Exchange of crypto for crypto
— Storage and creation of tokens
🇺🇦 The regulator refers to the experience of France, Austria, and Georgia — where a preferential regime is also in place. Specific rates for individual categories may be 5–9%, but the final decision will be made by the Verkhovna Rada after consultations with the IMF.
📉 Impact: negative for short-term investor interest, but potentially positive in the long term — as a step towards transparency and legalization of the cryptocurrency economy.
