Crypto gains are added to your other income and taxed at progressive rates starting at 19%. Swapping crypto for crypto is taxed. The planned 7% rate for long-held crypto never took effect.
Gains: Progressive income tax: 19% base rate, higher rates on larger incomes
- Swapping one crypto for another, or paying with crypto, is a taxable sale valued at fair value.
- There is no holding-period exemption and no 7% rate.
- Since 30 Dec 2025, firms operating only on a trade licence must stop; the NBS advises moving funds to a licensed provider or self-custody.
