Declaring cryptocurrency
For civil servants and other individuals who are required to report their assets annually, it is important to understand the topic of cryptocurrency declaration. If you need the help of a professional tax lawyer in this process, the lawyers of the Law Firm “Prikhodko&Partners” are the ones who specialize in such services.
It is especially important to remember that a correctly completed NAPC declaration is a guarantee of the absence of claims from the state. The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption carefully checks each item, so any inaccuracy, mechanical error or incorrect classification can lead to lengthy checks. Errors in the entry of crypto assets, monetary assets or income from them can create significant legal risks, up to administrative or criminal liability, which makes this process as responsible as possible.
Is it necessary to declare cryptocurrency in the NAPC declaration??
The current legislation of Ukraine clearly states that digital money cannot remain in the shadows if it is owned or used by the declaring entity. Accordingly, the question of whether it is necessary to declare cryptocurrency has an unambiguous affirmative answer. Any cryptocurrency must be indicated in the declaration regardless of its market value at the time of purchase or its current exchange rate. Even if the assets were purchased many years ago for a small amount, or if the wallet is currently passive and no active transactions are carried out on it, the fact of their ownership requires proper recording. To avoid problems with the law, all crypto assets in the declaration must be accompanied by a clear description of their origin.
Correct cryptocurrency declaration requires accurate figures. The declarant needs to collect a full package of information: the exact name of the cryptocurrency, its quantity, identifiers of public wallets or accounts on exchanges, as well as the dates of acquisition of ownership. In addition, it is worth finding out in advance the official rate and market value of assets at the end of the reporting period, since these figures are the basis for filling in the relevant fields of the system.
How to declare cryptocurrency to a civil servant?
The general logic of actions, which describes in detail how to declare cryptocurrency, begins with a complete inventory and verification of existing crypto assets, which belong not only to the official himself, but also to his family members. This includes all coins stored on hardware wallets, mobile applications or accounts on international trading platforms. A thorough verification of crypto assets before submission allows you to identify discrepancies in transactions and correct them in a timely manner.
The next step is to prepare detailed information about each object. This will allow you to declare cryptocurrency without errors. It is necessary to write out the exact number of units of each coin to the last decimal place, since rounding up or down is a violation of the filling rules. Next, the value of assets in the national currency is determined at the official exchange rate on the last day of the reporting year.
After collecting this information, the direct entry of data into the declaration begins in a specially designated section, which concerns intangible assets. Only the correct entry of data into the declaration guarantees successful verification by automated control systems. The final, but no less important stage is the final check of the correctness of filling in all fields.

Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin and monetary assets in the declaration
To correctly fill out the reporting, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between related financial terminology, since different categories of objects are reflected in completely different sections of the electronic form. Cryptoassets, such as Bitcoin or any other altcoins, from the point of view of the law are a specific type of property, namely intangible assets. They cannot be equated with ordinary cash, even if they have high liquidity and can be quickly exchanged.
Also, for foreign or specific transactions, a Bitcoin declaration may be required, which is submitted taking into account international valuation standards. When filling out the reporting, Bitcoin in the declaration requires the mandatory indication of the public wallet address. In general, the declaration of Bitcoin and other assets is subject to special valuation rules approved by the relevant departments.
For accurate capital delimitation, a detailed analysis of monetary assets is mandatory, which helps to avoid artificial doubling of amounts. All monetary and intangible assets have their own specifics of fixation, which cannot be ignored when reporting. In turn, income from cryptocurrency transactions is a completely different category, which is recorded separately. If during the reporting year you sold a certain number of coins, received profit from staking, mining or trading and withdrew these funds into fiat currency, this capital movement is considered income. Each of these elements requires its own unique place in the reporting form, where the fiat and digital components are clearly distinguished. In general, a correctly completed column on monetary assets of the declaration ensures successful passage of financial monitoring.
