Nigeria issues first detailed tax rules for crypto gains and income

AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ

Nigeria's revenue service issued its first comprehensive crypto tax framework, taxing gains from sales/swaps and income from mining, staking, airdrops, and token rewards, while requiring crypto-paid income to be reported at market value. Exchanges and other VASPs must register and report, applying existing tax rates. The guidelines increase regulatory clarity but raise compliance and reporting burdens, potentially impacting local liquidity and on/off-ramp activity.

Nigeria's Revenue Service (@NigeriaRevenue) has released its first comprehensive framework for taxing virtual assets, dated July 31. The guidance brings profits from selling or swapping crypto into the tax base and also covers income from mining, staking, airdrops and token rewards, spanning assets from Bitcoin to NFTs. Under the rules, individuals and businesses paid in crypto must record the market value as taxable income. Crypto exchanges and other virtual asset service providers (VASPs) are required to register and submit reports. The regime applies existing tax rates rather than introducing new crypto-specific levies. The publication follows an executive order from President Tinubu (@officialABAT) calling for a dedicated tax policy for the sector.
