Pakistan plans to bring cryptocurrency into tax net with 15–30% capital gains tax proposal in consultation with IMF for next fiscal budget.
Preparations are underway to regulate and tax Pakistan’s growing cryptocurrency market, with authorities considering a significant capital gains tax on crypto trading in the upcoming budget.
According to official sources, a proposal has been made to impose a capital gains tax ranging between 15 to 30 percent on cryptocurrency transactions in the next fiscal year’s budget. Sources in the finance ministry say the decision is being shaped in consultation with the IMF, which has reportedly demanded taxation on profits generated from all digital businesses. Officials indicate that crypto profits will soon be included within the tax net as part of broader fiscal reforms.
Under the proposed framework, a capital gains clause related to crypto transactions is expected to be added to Section 37 of the Income Tax Ordinance. The Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority has proposed a series of tax measures targeting crypto users. A committee has also been formed to assess the number of crypto users, transaction volumes, and potential taxation mechanisms. Officials say it has been decided to move forward with introducing digital currency by declaring virtual assets legal in the country.
Under the proposed system, Pakistani rupees could be converted into digital currency for the purchase of virtual assets. Authorities say profits earned through cryptocurrency trading are likely to come under the tax net soon. The proposed framework is expected to formalize reporting and taxation of digital gains while aligning with international financial requirements.
