What this guide covers

Tax treatment of cryptocurrency
This research pass found no information on how Chad specifically taxes crypto, as distinct from the broader regional stance. Chad belongs to the CEMAC monetary bloc, whose central bank is the BEAC. Cryptocurrencies are 'not suitable' and haven't been approved as legal tender within CEMAC, per the BEAC's own stated position, with the BEAC governor specifically telling citizens not to invest in these speculative assets because they're very risky. Separately, COSUMAF, the regional securities market regulator, excluded cryptocurrencies from its regulatory framework effective 1 August 2022.
