This is a significant advantage for crypto-investors who can sell their cryptocurrencies legally and without risk and pay 0% tax on the sale of cryptocurrencies.
2. No capital gains tax: Dubai does not have a capital gains tax, which means that investors can make huge capital gains with cryptocurrencies without having to pay any tax on them
3. No authority restrictions on capital: Dubai has no authority restrictions on capital, which means that investors can invest as much as they want in cryptocurrencies without any restrictions
4. No extensive record-keeping and record-filing: Dubai's tax system is simple and straightforward, and it eradicates the extensive record-keeping and record-filing that different countries are introducing, considering this form of digital currency
It is important to note that the tax benefits mentioned above apply to personal income and capital gains. However, the mining, exchange, or disposal of cryptocurrencies, as well as other transactions occurring in the crypto industry, may have VAT consequences.
