Sudan cryptocurrency tax guide

What this guide covers

This guide covers Sudan's crypto regulatory position for 2025, alongside a genuine conflict on tax treatment. cbos.gov.sd wasn't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax or legal advice.

Tax treatment of cryptocurrency

Sudan's sources disagree on whether a 1986 tax law reaches your crypto gain. The Central Bank of Sudan warned against cryptocurrency in March 2022, stating it isn't classified as money, private money, or property under Sudanese legislation and regulations and couldn't be considered legal tender. An earlier research pass additionally reported that using crypto to settle invoices isn't permitted and that mining is explicitly prohibited -- a fresh verification attempt could not re-locate a source for either specific detail, so this guide now flags both as unconfirmed rather than settled. On tax, sources directly conflict: one guide cites the Income Tax Act 1986 as placing crypto gains under miscellaneous income, implying some tax liability exists for gains despite the broader regulatory restrictions. A separate tax-tracking site instead states Sudan doesn't have specific cryptocurrency tax legislation. This guide doesn't resolve that conflict, and notes the tax-tracking site is generally the less authoritative of the two source types.

Common taxable events

• Per the Income Tax Act 1986 reading: crypto gains classified as miscellaneous income — potentially taxable. This guide doesn't treat this as fully settled, given the conflicting 'no specific legislation' claim.

Potentially non-taxable events

• Per the conflicting reading: crypto gains, absent specific legislation. This guide doesn't treat this as settled either.

Tax rates and thresholds

This guide doesn't assert a confident rate, given the direct conflict over whether the Income Tax Act 1986's miscellaneous-income provisions actually apply to crypto gains.

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 Sudanese tax law.
• An earlier pass reported that using crypto to settle invoices isn't permitted and that mining is explicitly prohibited; neither detail was re-confirmed in this pass and should be treated as unverified, not settled.

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 Sudan's Income Tax Act 1986 actually applies to crypto gains.

Limitations and review information

Tax year covered: 2025. Last verified: October 28, 2026 (citation-integrity pass). Known limitation: cbos.gov.sd wasn't directly fetched. Sources directly conflict on whether the Income Tax Act 1986 applies to crypto gains; the mining-prohibition and invoice-settlement claims could not be re-confirmed in this pass. Most sourcing dates to around 2022, given Sudan's ongoing conflict since 2023 potentially affecting regulatory continuity. This is educational information only, not individualized tax or legal advice — confirm current specifics directly with Sudanese tax authorities or a qualified local advisor.
