Trying to take its share of the profits, the government of Latvia, one of three Baltic countries, may accept cryptocurrencies as a legal means of exchange. This year’s tax filing campaign is underway and officials don’t have much time. Two parliamentary commissions and the Ministry of Finance have expressed their views on the matter this week. Latvians may very soon owe the state tax on their gains from crypto transactions. According to the Latvian Finance Ministry, 20% tax can be imposed on capital gains from deals with cryptocurrencies.
