    Your crypto tax FAQs answered

    Is crypto taxed in the UAE?

    The UAE generally does not impose income tax on individuals, which means there’s no tax on personal crypto gains.

    However, businesses doing crypto activities might be subject to VAT and corporate tax (starting at 9% since June 2023).

    What are the VAT implications for crypto transactions in the UAE?

    In the UAE, VAT applies to certain crypto-related transactions at a rate of 5%, except in specific free zones where a 0% VAT rate might apply.

    How do I ensure my crypto business complies with VARA regulations?

    To comply with the UAE’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), crypto businesses must get all the necessary licences and follow specific guidelines, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules and regulatory reporting requirements.

    What are the tax implications for UK expats holding crypto in the UAE?

    UK expats living in the UAE may still have tax obligations in the UK, especially if they are still considered UK tax residents. Holding crypto assets abroad can have dual reporting requirements.
