Thailand has become a digital asset hub, and in order to promote this growth, the government will waive VAT and corporation taxes for firms issuing investment tokens.
The State Duma approved the draft law in the second and third readings but will still need to be approved by the Upper House and signed by President Vladimir Putin before it can become a law.
Authorities in Thailand have formally introduced a seven percent value-added tax exemption for transfers of digital currencies made on government-registered exchanges.
The country’s taxman said that transactions will also be charged a value-added tax of 0.1%, way below the 11% charged to other goods and services in Indonesia.
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HRMC) also seized $6,700 worth of digital assets and arrested three people alleged to have defrauded the gov’t of $1.9 million in taxes.
