Summary/Abstract: Until the end of 2018, benefits from trading in cryptocurrencies were qualified as property rights. From January 1, 2019, they were directly included in the provisions of tax acts. In this way, the legislator sanctioned the legal status developed in the jurisprudence. Currently, revenues from the sale of cryptocurrencies qualify as revenues from money capital and capital gains respectively and the conversion of one cryptocurrency to another is tax-free.
