Ukraine’s Crypto Tax Plan: 23% on Profits, 5% on Fiat, and a Military Levy?! 💸🧠

Oh, great, another country trying to tax crypto like it’s a regular business. Ukraine’s parliament just passed a bill that’s basically a tax nightmare with a side of military funding. 23% on crypto profits? 18% income tax? And a 5% military levy? Who’s next, a tax on breathing? 🧠💸

The bill even tries to be “flexible” by not taxing crypto-to-crypto trades. Because nothing says “progressive” like letting people dodge taxes by swapping Bitcoin for Dogecoin. 🤡 Coincidence? I think not.

But wait-there’s a catch! The regulator is still a mystery. Is it the NBU? The National Securities and Stock Market Commission? It’s like asking a toddler to organize a party. 🧸 Who’s in charge? Nobody, apparently.
