This kind of news is good, but I think you are wrong to equate El Salvador with Ukraine. In El Salvador Bitcoin is an official currency. On the other hand in Ukraine what happened until now is that there was no regulation on cryptocurrencies and the law that has been passed regulates them as a financial asset but not as a currency with which you can pay taxes:

So, the right title should be

Ukraine has made Bitcoin taxable?

That bill is damn long and translate isn't really helping but one point among many others intrigued me:

1. The National Bank of Ukraine in the field of turnover of virtual assets:
1) carries out state regulation of the turnover of ZVA (VC);
2) determines the list of currency values (except for the national currency (hryvnia) for which the exchange of virtual assets may be carried out , and the procedure for such exchange;
3) determines the list of currency values that can be provided by ZVA (VC);
4) approves for service providers related to the turnover of virtual assets, the rules of exchange of CBA (VC) and the rules of exchange of currency values (except for the national currency (hryvnia) for virtual assets);

So, the CB will have a final say on every pair an exchange that operates in Ukraine can have listed?
Eh, at least they didn't empower the CB to set exchange rates also. Cheesy

Anyhow, no point comparing this to Salvador, the current status even with this bill is actually far worse on paper than in many other state.

The law on virtual assets adopted in Ukraine is quite good. However, it is framework, that is, it establishes only general terms and involves the additional introduction of bylaws for a more detailed regulation of the cryptocurrency. This is not very good, because at the local level, officials can degrade its quality with their clarifications.
In Ukraine, they are also going to adopt bill No. 2461, which is designed to establish clear rules of taxation and provides for a profit tax of 18 percent for enterprises and organizations and 5 percent for individuals, an object subject to taxation is calculated as the difference between the amount of sold cryptocurrency and the cost of mining or buying it.
In general, for citizens, 5 percent of the tax is quite acceptable. It would be better to pay 5 percent and sleep well.
