The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation proposed even stricter regulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation sent a new package of bills, introducing cryptocurrencies in the country, including, the need to declare cryptocurrencies and operations with them.

The bill proposes to oblige citizens to declare operations with cryptocurrency. Besides, Cryptocurrency exchanges and exchangers will have to report to the Federal Tax Service on translations of digital currencies. truth, if an individual or legal entity has received less per year 100 000 rubles in cryptocurrencies, it is not necessary to declare operations.

Of course, In case of disobedience, fines are provided. So, for that, that the citizen did not report to the tax service about cryptocurrency operations, He will receive a fine in the amount 30% from the received crypto assets, but not less 50 000 rub. When, if assets have passed through the wallet in the year more 1 million rubles, then the responsibility will be criminal - the term of imprisonment can reach three years.

“Very likely, that lawmakers still cannot decide, where to put a comma in the phrase "legalize cannot be prohibited", - expressed his opinion co -founder of Exante Anatoly Knyazev.

Experts noted, that the document in terms of criminal punishment has been worked out very weakly. for instance, It proposes criminal liability for legal entities, Whereas such a thing in the Russian legal system is simply not. The bill also proposes to consider the use of cryptocurrencies in the commission of crimes with an aggravating circumstance.

At the same time, representatives of the Ministry of Finance emphasized, that so far there is no decision to regulate cryptocurrencies. Previously reported, that the Russian financial monitoring service plans to track cryptocurrency transactions. Representatives of the service told, that support the bill of the Ministry of Finance in that part, which refers to Rosfinmonitoring.
