Tajikistan Crypto Tax Guide 2026

Tajikistan does not have specific cryptocurrency legislation, but digital asset transactions are subject to existing income tax rules under the Tax Code. Profits from crypto trading, mining, staking, and airdrops are treated as ordinary income and taxed at progressive IIT rates (12-23%) for individuals or CIT rates (18%/5%) for businesses. Crypto-to-crypto trades are taxable events.

The Tax Committee has indicated that the Tax Code applies to transactions involving digital assets. Crypto assets are treated as property for tax purposes, and any gain arising from their disposal is subject to income tax. The tax treatment depends on the taxpayer's profile: individuals are taxed under the progressive IIT brackets (12-23%), while companies are taxed at the applicable CIT rate (18% or 5%).
