How Russia taxes crypto
Russia taxes cryptocurrency gains as personal income. The standard personal income tax (NDFL) rate is 13% on annual income up to ₽5 million, and 15% on the portion exceeding ₽5 million. Since January 2021, Russian residents are required to report cryptocurrency holdings and transactions if annual crypto transactions exceed ₽600,000. Cryptocurrency is legally recognized as property but not as legal tender. Mining income is also subject to taxation. The Federal Tax Service (FNS) oversees crypto tax compliance. Russia has one of the largest crypto mining industries in the world due to its abundant and cheap energy resources. All disposals, including sales, trades, and exchanges, are considered taxable events.
