The Federal Tax Service (FNS) of the Russian Federation is currently actively studying the cryptocurrency market, said the head of the agency Daniil Yegorov in an interview with RBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

“We are now quite closely engaged with this market, understanding that this settlement system could create a fairly substantial erosion of the tax base,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The head of the FNS noted that anonymisation technologies can be used to evade taxes, but participants in the digital space still leave traces.<\/p>\n

Yegorov stated the need to declare ‘points and volumes of settlement’ as the key stakeholders of any such systems, as well as by users.<\/p>\n

As reported in February, the State Duma of the Russian Federation passed in the first reading<\/a> a bill on the taxation of crypto-asset operations.<\/p>\n

According to Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, progress on the bill is slow due to “questions about substantive categories”<\/a>, raised by regulators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Media reported that the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance could not agree<\/a> on access by tax authorities to bank accounts for monitoring cryptocurrency operations, but the ministry assured that there are no disagreements.<\/p>\n
