Guinea cryptocurrency tax guide
Guinea does not currently have a dedicated legal framework or licensing regime specifically for virtual assets or crypto service providers. The BCRG, the lead regulator, has not issued specific directives authorizing or banning crypto activities; its main relevant instrument is AML-focused rather than crypto-specific — Instruction No. 111/DGSIF/DSB (11 January 2023) establishes a 150 million GNF threshold for reporting cash transactions and electronic transfers to CENTIF, explicitly covering virtual asset service providers among the entities it applies to. No tax treatment of crypto was located in this research pass.

What this guide covers
This guide documents the absence of crypto-specific regulation and tax guidance in Guinea for 2025. bcrg.gov.gn wasn't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax advice.
Tax treatment of cryptocurrency
This research pass found no Guinea-specific crypto tax source of any kind — not even a secondary aggregator claim, which is itself notable relative to many other countries in this batch. Guinea doesn't currently have a dedicated legal framework or licensing regime specifically for virtual assets or crypto service providers. The BCRG, Guinea's central bank and lead financial regulator, hasn't issued specific directives authorizing or banning crypto activities. The only specific regulatory instrument identified is AML-focused rather than crypto-specific: Instruction No. 111/DGSIF/DSB, dated 11 January 2023, establishes a 150 million GNF threshold for reporting cash transactions and electronic transfers to CENTIF, Guinea's financial intelligence unit, and explicitly names virtual asset service providers among the entities it covers.

Supports: Read directly: that BCRG Instruction No. 111/DGSIF/DSB, dated 11 January 2023 and effective immediately upon signature, establishes a 150 million GNF threshold for reporting cash transactions and electronic transfers to CENTIF, requires systematic reporting for cross-border operations involving FATF-designated high-risk countries, and explicitly covers financial institutions, DNFBPs, and virtual asset service providers. Its legal basis cites Guinea's 2021 AML/CFT law and a December 2022 decree on CENTIF's organization. This is a regulatory-tracking site's reproduction of the instruction, not the BCRG's own published text, which was not directly fetched.
