The authorities will impose a tax on the mining of crypto-currencies. This was reported by the Deputy Finance Minister Aleksei Moiseev.

      The authorities have presented a draft law on the regulation of the market of crypto-currencies, mining and ICO. According to Moiseev, they are going to tax miners in the same way as individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. It will be impossible to carry out transactions with crypto-currencies in free access on the territory of Russia. The authorities propose to give similar rights to specialized trading floors which will be licensed.
