ФНС России не будет изменять законопроект о поправках в Налоговый кодекс о декларировании доходов в криптовалютах - Bits Media

The Federal Tax Service of Russia will not change the draft law on amendments to the Tax Code on the declaration of income in cryptocurrencies – Bits Media

Changes to the Tax Code suggest obliging citizens to declare transactions with cryptocurrencies. The Federal Tax Service is not going to change this paragraph of the bill even after criticism of experts.

FROM 1 january 2021 year in Russia came into force the Law on Digital Assets (CFA), in which the right is spelled out (but not a duty!) citizens declare transactions with such assets. In February of this year, the State Duma adopted the bill in the first reading, regulating the taxation of income from operations with cryptocurrencies. The document received negative assessments from experts, however, the department does not plan to soften its position. In fact, after the adoption of the bill, the Ministry of Finance will have the opportunity to establish fines or criminal liability for failure to provide information about transactions with cryptocurrencies.

“The Tax Code of the Russian Federation should provide exactly the procedure for informing. The draft federal law establishes such a procedure and does not interfere with voluntary reporting.. therefore, despite the fact that the bill was not developed in pursuance of Law 259-FZ, it fully complies with the provisions… and does not contradict him ", - said in the letter of the Federal Tax Service to the ANO Digital Economy.

As noted by the teacher of Moscow Digital School Dmitry Kirillov, In fact, the Federal Tax Service "replaces" the citizen's right to inform the tax authority about transactions with cryptocurrencies established by the law on the CFA with "the right to report the receipt of the right to cryptocurrency, submit reports on transactions with cryptocurrency and its balances ", which is tantamount to duty. And this directly contradicts the law on the CFA, thinks Kirillov
