Singapore Cryptocurrency Tax
Detailed cryptocurrency tax rates and rules for Singapore in 2026.
Singapore does not impose capital gains tax on cryptocurrency. Gains from the disposal of digital tokens held as long-term investments are generally not taxable. However, if an individual or business is engaged in the trade of digital tokens — buying and selling as a business activity — the profits may be treated as income and taxed accordingly under normal income tax rules.

Additional Notes
Businesses that accept cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services must recognize the fair market value of the tokens as revenue. GST may apply to digital payment token transactions, although the supply of digital payment tokens is exempt from GST as of January 1, 2020. Singapore's regulatory framework under the Payment Services Act provides clarity for crypto businesses operating in the jurisdiction.
