Daniil Hetmantsev, head of the Rada's tax committee, said Ukrainians must declare income from crypto now, even without specific regulation.

Official position

According to Hetmantsev, digital assets are not exempt from taxation and any realized profit falls under general tax rules applied to other income categories.

Tax treatment under current rules

The official clarified that, in the absence of a separate legal framework, taxable events with cryptocurrencies should be reported following existing tax legislation and procedures.

Practical implications for taxpayers

Taxpayers who received income from sale, exchange or other disposition of digital assets must include such receipts in their annual declarations and calculate the due taxes accordingly.

Compliance and enforcement

Hetmantsev indicated that tax authorities expect adherence to reporting obligations and may apply penalties if taxable income from crypto remains undeclared under current norms.

What to monitor

Market participants should track future legislative changes, but until a dedicated law appears, the obligation to declare crypto-related income persists under general tax rules.
