Comoros cryptocurrency tax guide
No national government in Comoros has enacted comprehensive legislation classifying Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies under domestic law. The Banque Centrale des Comores oversees banking and monetary policy generally but has not issued guidance on cryptocurrency trading, custody, or payments for residents. Sources conflict on tax: one claims a 10% capital gains tax applies to crypto as of 2026, while a separate licensing-focused article instead says crypto activity is governed mainly by general corporate, tax, and banking rules rather than crypto-specific regulation.

What this guide covers
This guide documents a genuine conflict in Comoros's crypto tax position for 2025. impots.km and banque-comores.km weren't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax advice.
Tax treatment of cryptocurrency
Sources disagree on whether Comoros has a specific 10% crypto tax rate or only general rules with no dedicated figure at all. No national government legislation in Comoros classifies Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies under domestic law. The Banque Centrale des Comores (BCC) oversees banking and monetary policy generally, but hasn't issued specific guidance on cryptocurrency trading, custody, or payments for residents, leaving crypto in a legal gray area rather than clearly prohibited or regulated. On tax, sources directly conflict: a general tax-rate tracking site claims cryptocurrency gains are subject to capital gains tax at a rate of 10% as of 2026; a separate, licensing-focused article instead states crypto activity is governed mainly by general rules applicable to corporate law, taxation, and banking, rather than by crypto-specific regulation — implying no dedicated 10% rate exists, only the application of Comoros's general tax code by default. This guide treats the 10% figure as unverified given this direct conflict.
Common taxable events
- Per the general-rules reading: crypto activity potentially falling under general corporate, tax, and banking rules by default — this guide doesn't confirm the specific mechanics or whether this results in a 10% rate or some other treatment.
Potentially non-taxable events
- Not identified with confidence in this research pass.
Tax rates and thresholds
This guide doesn't assert a confirmed rate, given the direct conflict between a reported 10% capital gains figure and a separate characterization that only general corporate/tax/banking rules apply without a specific crypto rate.
Cost basis and calculation
Not independently confirmed in this research pass.
Reporting and compliance
- This guide doesn't identify a confirmed individual reporting obligation specific to crypto under current Comorian tax law.
Residency and cross-border issues
Not resolved in this research pass.
Example
This guide omits a worked tax example, given the direct conflict in secondary sources over whether Comoros applies a specific 10% capital gains rate to crypto or only general corporate/tax rules.

Limitations and review information
Tax year covered: 2025. Last verified: October 11, 2026. Known gap: impots.km and banque-comores.km weren't directly fetched; secondary sources directly conflict on whether a specific 10% capital gains rate applies to crypto.

Multiple secondary sources with conflicting tax claims (taxratesbycountry.com, ybcase.com licensing guide) · Checked 2026-10-11
Supports: That no national government legislation in Comoros classifies Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies under domestic law, and that the Banque Centrale des Comores (BCC) has not issued guidance on cryptocurrency trading, custody, or payments for residents. Sources directly conflict on tax treatment (a reported 10% capital gains rate vs. a claim that only general corporate/tax/banking rules apply); the BCC's own site was not directly fetched, and no primary Comorian tax authority source was located.
