Kazakstan oorweeg vyfvoudige verhoging van elektrisiteitsbelasting op kripto-mynbou
Owerhede in Kasakstan bespreek nuwe regulasies vir die land se kripto-ruimte wat kan lei tot 'n ernstige toename in die belastinglas op die mynbesigheid. Onder die voorgestelde veranderinge is 'n vyfvoudige verhoging van die fooi wat mynwerkers betaal vir elke kilowatt-uur se benutte elektrisiteit.
Mynmaatskappye in Kazakstan het verwag om baie meer aan die staat te betaal
Regeringsamptenare in Kazakstan debatteer oor nuwe wetgewing vir die kripto-geldeenheidbedryf. Die skrywers van 'n konsepwet "On Digital Assets in the Republic of Kazakhstan" het sekere sake gedek wat die groeiende kripto-mynsektor raak, het plaaslike media berig.
Quoted by Kazinform, First Deputy Minister of Finance Marat Sultangaziyev noted at a recent meeting of an interdepartmental commission that mining activities are now subject only to registrasie, but more rules are to come. He also emphasized that it’s very difficult to identify underground miners who consume a lot of electricity illegally.
Kazakhstan has been trying to deal with a growing power deficit since last year when the country welcomed mining companies moving out of China after Beijing launched a crackdown on bitcoin minting operations in May. The shortages were geblameer on miners and crypto farms were recently gesluit across the Central Asian nation.
Die komende wysigings sal alle ongemagtigde mynbou onwettig maak. Verder sal belasting vir geregistreerde entiteite verhoog word. Verlede somer het Kazakstan 'n toeslag van 1 tenge per kilowatt-uur verbruikte elektrisiteit ingestel, wat owerhede nou wil verhoog tot 5 tenge per kWh ($0.01), het Sultangaziyev onthul.
Kazakstan beplan ook om 'n heffing op mynboutoerusting te hef, ongeag of dit in gebruik is of afgekoppel is. Mynmaatskappye sal verplig word om die aantal en tipe van hul muntstukke te rapporteer en die nuwe fooie op 'n kwartaallikse basis te betaal.
Hardware imports, exempted from value added tax at the moment, may also be charged with BTW. A proposal to exclude mining equipment from this exemption has been sent to the Ministry of Economy, the deputy finance minister announced.
Interruptions in power supply have already forced some mining companies to laat Kazakhstan. To deal with the issue, the country increased electricity invoer from the Russian Federation last year. The government intends to revive a project to construct a nuclear power plant.
Protes over high energy prices, those of fuels like natural gas in particular, led to political turmoil affecting the crypto mining industry in Kazakhstan, which ranks among the leaders in terms of share of global bitcoin hashrate.
