The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, Danilo Getmantsev, urged Ukrainians not to delay the declaration of crypto assets.
According to him, financial monitoring will sooner or later detect undeclared cryptocurrency operations, and it will not be possible to avoid it.
He emphasized that cryptocurrency is not an anonymous tool, as many people think: “It is enough to establish a relationship between a person and a cryptomaman – and all operations that have taken place in this wallet in the past become known to the controlling organs.”
Getmantsev acknowledged that if a person plans to stay “in the shadow” all his life, avoiding banking operations and the acquisition of valuable things, he is unlikely to be forced to declare cryptocurrency.
But for “intelligent and modern” citizens, the exit “into the white plane” is a fundamental question. He stressed that financial monitoring is already working in European countries and soon similar mechanisms will work in Ukraine.
This is especially true of cryptocurrency operations that are becoming more transparent to government agencies.
Particular attention was paid to the fact that the purchase of real estate, cars or jewelry using cryptocurrency is also under control not only of tax but also financial monitoring.
He believes that the ability to declare income from crypto assets at a rate of 5% without confirming the cost of their acquisition is a “absolutely commendable price” for legalizing such income.
In the future, if a person pays the difference between the purchase and the sale of cryptoactive assets, they will be able to openly use these funds without restrictions.
Recently, the Parliamentary Committee has supported a cryptocurrency bill, which provides for a transition period for a year long. During this time, citizens will be able to declare their crypto assets at a preferential rate.
According to the document, a virtual asset is defined as a special digital object that exists in electronic form due to blockchain. Such assets are not money and cannot be used as an official payment in Ukraine.
Their legal regime is equated with movable property in accordance with the Civil Code.
We will remind, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Danilo Getmantsev reported that according to the latest estimates of the NBU, FDI fired to Ukraine in 2024 amounted to $ 3,329 million. Compared to 2023, volumes decreased by a quarter (- $ 1.16 billion).
