Tax Treatment in El Salvador

El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021 (Bitcoin Law). Capital gains from Bitcoin transactions by individuals are exempt from tax. Businesses must accept Bitcoin as payment. The government has purchased Bitcoin for national reserves and established a Bitcoin wallet (Chivo). Other cryptocurrencies are not legal tender and would fall under general tax rules.

This calculator provides estimates for El Salvador. Actual crypto tax may vary depending on your specific circumstances, additional income, and applicable exemptions. Consult a tax professional.
