Ukraine, with time, has simplified its stance on cryptocurrencies. As time has evolved, the war-stricken zone has adopted and rejected many crypto regimes. The Ukrainian government has passed a law that officially legalised the cryptocurrency industry in the world, thus allowing foreign and Ukrainian cryptocurrency exchanges to operate legally.
In this report by Coinpedia, we have listed down all important events in the zone. Ukrainian take on cryptocurrency has been discussed in detail below!
Approximately 6.5 million Ukrainians, which is 6.5% of the total population in the country, own cryptocurrency. Amidst the chaotic scenario in the area, the Ukrainian government has always looked out for any form of donations or help they could get. Cryptocurrency unveiled itself as a hero for Ukrainians! The government realized that the crypto donations were the easiest and the fastest that could come to them, with almost $55 million in donations in a week in March, 2022. Binance was also seen running a Ukrainian Emergency Relief Fund in 2022.
Through many instances, Ukraine started favoring the adoption of Cryptocurrency and thus made it legal!
After various amendments to the draft law, the draft law no. 10255-1 was passed which took care of the following:
Under the draft tax rules, the gain by an individual on selling cryptocurrency would be taxed at preferential rates of 6.5% (5% personal income tax at 1.5% military tax).
The registered draft law provides for the payment of 5% personal income tax (for the first three years) , 9% (for the next five years) and 18% to be applied as general tax rate after eight years.
While Ukraine remains under immense war pressure, it is counted as one of the top crypto-friendly countries in the world. With changing laws and crypto adoption, we could expect a lot more improvement in Ukraine’s cryptocurrency situation.
