According to local news platform Telesputnik, Russia’s digital rubleofficially became part of the country’s tax code after President Vladimir Putin signed it.
Digital Ruble Included in Russia’s Tax Code with Vladimir Putin’s Signature
The latest addition to the tax code includes a clear definition of a “digital ruble account” and outlines the rules for taxing transactions involving digital rubles.
The move represents efforts to develop the digital ruble in part as a strategic response to financial constraints, including sanctions imposed over Russia’s actions against Ukraine.
President Putin signed the digital ruble bill in July, which is an important step in the development of Russia’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) project, launched by the Bank of Russia in 2020.
Under the new law, authorities have the power to take back digital currency in cases where there are insufficient funds in a taxpayer’s bank accounts.
In addition, it authorizes authorities to temporarily suspend transactions in digital ruble accounts, provided that platform operators provide documents reflecting the deduction of funds from the taxpayer’s account.
