Abstract

Virtual currency is constantly gaining on popularity as an alternative to traditional forms of payment. The authors of this article demonstrate the limits of the absence of legislation addressing taxable transactions involving virtual currency and present the opinion that all essential virtual currency transactions, including accounting and tax classification of such transactions, are fundamentally possible.

The absence of legislation, however, is not advantageous for virtual currency because it complicates further expansion of virtual currency as an alternative to common means of payment.
