Abstract
The article studies the prospects of applying a special tax regime for transactions with virtual assets in Ukraine. Applying existing tax conditions to the virtual asset market will lead to the opposite effect – the complete shadowing of the industry. That is why there is now an urgent need for delayed adoption of the relevant bill, which should ensure the launch of a completely legal and transparent market for virtual assets. Based on the results of the research, a general conclusion was made that applies to both individuals and legal entities – a single tax rate on transactions with virtual assets, in the amount of 5% – even if on the general taxation system, even if on the simplified taxation system – which levels out separately a special tax regime for operations with virtual assets declared and regulated by Law No. 7150.
