What this guide covers
This guide documents Angola's crypto mining prohibition for 2025, since no tax treatment was located. agt.minfin.gov.ao wasn't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax or legal advice.
Tax treatment of cryptocurrency
Angola bans crypto mining outright, and this research pass found no tax information at all. Angola's parliament approved a measure prohibiting the exercise of cryptocurrency mining activities throughout the national territory, reported as passed with unanimous support in either December 2023 or February 2024 — sources differ on the exact date and this guide doesn't resolve the discrepancy. Officials cited protecting the electricity grid, energy security, and monetary sovereignty as the stated rationale, alongside guarding against money laundering and terrorist financing. Before this ban, crypto use wasn't reported as illegal, though the government discouraged transacting with crypto and restricted financial institutions from dealing with it, maintaining the Banco Nacional de Angola's exclusive authority to issue digital currency. One report notes it's unclear when exactly the law took effect.
