Cryptocurrency arbitrage and... offshore?

Question

Business Informatics

Greetings, comrades!
There are quite a lot of questions on this topic on the Internet, but the point in the case has not been put, so I’ll venture to ask again, suddenly there are people with real experience.
The essence of the activity is quite simple, we buy, for example, bitcoin on exchange "A" for fiat currency, transfer it to exchange "B" and there we sell it for, again, fiat currency. That is, bitcoin does not actually fall into the hands of a trader, but this is not so important. Important - what about taxes?
The option with IP on the simplified tax system "income - expenses", as I understand it, is not suitable because such expenses cannot be reflected in the statements. The option with the simplified tax system of 6% is also not suitable, but only because it eats up a significant share of the profit.
What remains? In theory, only offshore (if there are other options, please tell us). Suppose a bank account is opened in an offshore zone, plastic is given to us. Since we want everything according to the law, we inform the tax office about opening an account. Then the time has come for specific questions - at what point to pay personal income tax? Only upon receipt to a bank account in the Russian Federation? And from what amount to give 13%, from the one that was withdrawn or, say, from the turnover on an offshore account?
What if you do not withdraw cash from this offshore account at all, but buy everything you need with a card, does this exempt from personal income tax?
I would also be eternally grateful if someone could tell me about other possible pitfalls in the tax in this case and for any recommendations in general.
PS This is my first time on the Toaster, so don't kick me if something is wrong.

Answer 1

In general, everything related to cryptocurrencies has not yet been spelled out at the legislative level, so feel free to buy, sell and withdraw profits for yourself, the likelihood that someone will put a spoke in your wheels is very small)

Answer 2

"- You checkers, or go?"

1. You can’t legally engage in this activity in Russia just like that (financial currency transactions require a license, etc., and cryptocurrencies are generally outside the legal field) And not only in Russia, but also in a large number of countries.
2. I would not advise showing any income related to this activity, even abroad.
3. The only obvious way: Conducting this activity on behalf of an offshore (with offshores, you also need to carefully study the mat. part) and paying yourself remuneration on behalf of this offshore (preferably not salary, but a fee on monthly invoices) for IT services on IP , issued in Russia - This gimor, only if you want to be white before the tax.
Or work in general in the black, withdrawing profits to a foreign account, for example, payoneer
4. There are less obvious ways, but bother with them if you do not have a fundamental objection to paragraph 3. I would not.
