Kazakhstan Menimbang Lima Kali Kenaikan Cukai Elektrik ke atas Perlombongan Kripto
Pihak berkuasa di Kazakhstan sedang membincangkan peraturan baharu untuk ruang crypto negara yang mungkin membawa kepada peningkatan serius dalam beban cukai ke atas perniagaan perlombongan. Antara perubahan yang dicadangkan ialah kenaikan lima kali ganda bayaran yang dibayar oleh pelombong bagi setiap kilowatt-jam tenaga elektrik yang digunakan.
Syarikat Perlombongan di Kazakhstan Dijangka Membayar Lebih Banyak Kepada Negara
Pegawai kerajaan di Kazakhstan sedang membahaskan undang-undang baharu untuk industri mata wang kripto. Pengarang draf undang-undang "Mengenai Aset Digital di Republik Kazakhstan" telah merangkumi perkara-perkara tertentu yang melibatkan sektor perlombongan kripto yang semakin meningkat, lapor media tempatan.
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 pendaftaran, 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 disalahkan on miners and crypto farms were recently ditutup across the Central Asian nation.
Pindaan yang akan datang akan menjadikan semua perlombongan tanpa kebenaran haram. Tambahan pula, cukai bagi entiti berdaftar akan dinaikkan. Musim panas lalu, Kazakhstan memperkenalkan surcaj sebanyak 1 tenge setiap kilowatt jam tenaga elektrik yang digunakan, yang kini ingin dinaikkan oleh pihak berkuasa kepada 5 tenge setiap kWj ($0.01), dedah Sultangaziyev.
Kazakhstan juga merancang untuk mengenakan levi ke atas peralatan perlombongan tanpa mengira sama ada ia sedang digunakan atau dicabut. Firma perlombongan akan diwajibkan melaporkan bilangan dan jenis peranti pencetak syiling mereka dan membayar yuran baharu setiap suku tahun.
Hardware imports, exempted from value added tax at the moment, may also be charged with VAT. 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 meninggalkan Kazakhstan. To deal with the issue, the country increased electricity import 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.
