The Federal Tax Service of Russia began sending letters to the owners of cryptocurrencies. According to RBC with reference to the data of the service for monitoring, accounting and analytics of crypto assets BitOK, tax authorities are requesting information about the ownership of digital assets and transactions.
Letters are sent to individuals who made transactions with cryptocurrencies in 2021 and 2022 and submitted 3-NDFL declarations. The publication indicates that the documents are requested to be presented urgently.
According to BitOK, representatives of the tax service also call and ask for information about some transactions. The BitOK source clarified that the Federal Tax Service has not yet formulated a unified position regarding the taxation of digital currencies, but if there is profit from this type of activity in rubles, the payment of tax in the form of 3-NDFL is still mandatory.
The founder of the BitOK service, Dmitry Machikhin, added that Rosfinmonitoring, together with Russian banks, is helping the Federal Tax Service to identify facts of evasion from filing reports on transactions with cryptocurrency and those who did not file 3-personal income tax.
Earlier, the Prosecutor General’s Office proposed to allow the investigating authorities to open crypto wallets or accounts for the withdrawal and circulation of digital currencies into the state’s income.
