Tax Reporting

The Central African cryptocurrency statute is Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 régissant la cryptomonnaie en République Centrafricaine, not a Law n° 22.001 of 27 April 2022; it never displaced the franc CFA, and the National Assembly amended it on 23 March 2023 to delete the obligation on economic agents to accept cryptocurrency.. Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 does carry tax rules: article 8 exempts cryptocurrency exchanges from tax and article 16 taxes the profit realised by the trader, while article 7 allows tax to be paid in cryptocurrency through platforms recognised by the State; the Code général des impôts supplies everything else and mentions no digital asset.. Article 8 of Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 expressly provides that exchanges in cryptocurrency are not subject to tax in the Central African Republic, and article 16 taxes the profit made by the trader, so the absence of tax on an exchange follows from an express statutory exemption rather than from bitcoin's former legal-tender treatment.. Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 applies to cryptomonnaies generically — article 4 defines a cryptomonnaie as a peer-to-peer digital currency issued without a central bank and recorded on a blockchain — so the article 8 exemption of exchanges and the article 16 tax on trader profits cover assets other than bitcoin on identical terms.. General CGT for Businesses/Investment: For businesses, gains from the disposal of assets (including potential intangible assets like non-Bitcoin cryptos if they are part of a business's portfolio) are typically integrated into corporate income and taxed at the corporate income tax rate.

Key Facts

• aml No CEMAC instrument numbered 04/22/CM/UMAC/CM exists; the CEMAC text governing virtual asset service providers is Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 20 December 2024 on the prevention and repression of money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, which defines actif virtuel and prestataire de services sur actifs virtuels at article 2 and lists PSAV among the assujettis at article 6. This regulation is further complemented by an instructional circular from the Banking Commission of Central Africa (COBAC), which is the primary supervisor for financial institutions in CEMAC: COBAC has issued no instruction numbered 001/GR/2023 and none dated 31 January 2023; COBAC numbers its instructions in the form Instruction COBAC I-YYYY/NN, its published register ends at Instruction COBAC I-2018/01, and its only virtual-asset instrument is Décision COBAC D-2022/071 of 6 May 2022 on the holding, use, exchange and conversion of cryptocurrencies by COBAC-supervised institutions. The CEMAC AML/CFT regulation covering virtual assets was adopted by the UMAC Ministerial Committee in extraordinary session at Libreville on 20 December 2024 as Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM; no CEMAC regulation on virtual asset service providers was published on 21 December 2022. No COBAC implementing instruction on virtual assets took effect on 31 January 2023; the COBAC instruction register ends at Instruction COBAC I-2018/01 and contains no virtual-asset text, and the COBAC sectoral AML/CFT instrument is Règlement COBAC R-2023/01, in force 1 July 2024. CEMAC règlements are directly applicable in the Central African Republic without national transposition under article 44 of the CEMAC Treaty, so Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 20 December 2024 binds virtual asset service providers in CAR from its entry into force; no COBAC implementing instruction on virtual assets exists, and Décision COBAC D-2022/071 of 6 May 2022 binds only COBAC-supervised institutions rather than VASPs. Article 42 of Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM sets the occasional-transaction threshold for virtual asset service providers at 500 000 FCFA, above which reinforced customer due diligence applies; the CEMAC framework states the threshold in FCFA and not as EUR 1 000. This threshold applies to both single transactions and linked transactions.
• enforcement BEAC is the central bank of the six CEMAC states and the Central African Republic is a member, and BEAC has issued no virtual-asset instrument of its own; COSUMAF is the designated competent authority for digital asset service providers in CEMAC, COBAC bars supervised credit, microfinance and payment institutions from acquiring, holding, transferring or converting crypto-assets under Décision COBAC D-2022/071 of 6 May 2022, and the Central African Republic's financial intelligence unit is an ANIF. BEAC and COBAC directed their April and May 2022 response at the Central African Republic's Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 régissant la cryptomonnaie, and the Republic repealed that law's legal-tender and guaranteed-convertibility provisions in March 2023 as a prior action for its IMF Extended Credit Facility. The Central African Republic faces downside financing risks related to BEAC and has previously shown practices challenging regional monetary policy uniformity, suggesting potential for financial instability risks. While robust Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML-CFT) legal frameworks were noted in 2006, the provided evidence does not directly confirm that BEAC specifically argued a CAR law violated CEMAC conventions concerning unified monetary policy. No fine was imposed on the Central African Republic; the operative regional measure was Décision COBAC D-2022/071 du 6 mai 2022, which bars COBAC-supervised credit institutions, microfinance establishments, payment institutions and bureaux de change from acquiring, holding, exchanging, converting or booking crypto-assets and requires them to report detected crypto operations to COBAC and BEAC. BEAC convened a working group on 29 April 2022, one week after Loi n° 22.004 was promulgated, and COBAC adopted Décision D-2022/071 on 6 May 2022 barring supervised institutions from crypto-asset activity. The Central African Republic's National Assembly adopted a revised cryptocurrency law on 23 March 2023 that removed bitcoin's legal-tender status and turned the duty to accept crypto into a freedom to accept it, and IMF Country Report No. 23/155 records repeal of the legal-tender and guaranteed-convertibility provisions of Loi n° 22.004 as a met prior action. The International Monetary Fund holds no regulatory authority over the Central African Republic and acted through programme conditionality, making repeal of the crypto legal-tender and convertibility provisions a prior action for the 38-month Extended Credit Facility arrangement. IMF Country Report No. 23/155 of May 2023 records macro-fiscal, financial-stability and integrity risks from the April 2022 crypto legislation and from project Sango, holds that the legal-tender grant violated BEAC's exclusive right of issue in the monetary union, and conditions the 38-month Extended Credit Facility on repeal of the legal-tender and convertibility provisions.
• licensing The Central African Republic's cryptocurrency statute is Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 régissant la cryptomonnaie en République Centrafricaine, adopted by the National Assembly on 22 April 2022 and promulgated later that month; no Loi n° 22.006 of 27 April 2022 governs cryptocurrency. Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 made crypto-assets legal tender alongside the CFA franc, the National Assembly stripped that status on 23 March 2023 under IMF and BEAC pressure, and a tokenisation law passed in 2023 opened land and natural resources to blockchain tokens. The Central African Republic operates no national virtual-asset licensing or supervision and its land-tokenisation platform requires only an email address and a crypto payment with no identity verification, while Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM art. 42 and the COSUMAF Règlement Général of 23 May 2023 impose prior authorisation duties that Bangui has not implemented. While it creates the framework, it generally defers to further decrees or existing AML/CFT laws for specific requirements. No Règlement n° 01/17/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 30 March 2017 exists; CEMAC AML/CFT law ran from Règlement n° 01/03-CEMAC-UMAC of 4 April 2003 through Règlement n° 02/10 of 2 October 2010 and Règlement n° 01/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 11 April 2016 to Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 20 December 2024, each adopted by the UMAC Comité Ministériel rather than by BEAC. The Central African Republic is bound by CEMAC community law, which prevails over conflicting national texts under article 44 of the CEMAC Treaty, and the AML/CFT and market règlements are adopted by the UMAC Comité Ministériel while BEAC holds the exclusive right of issue and COBAC supervises credit institutions. Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM of 20 December 2024 names virtual-asset service providers as assujettis in article 6 and requires prior agrément under article 42, so CEMAC AML/CFT law now covers virtual-asset businesses expressly rather than by analogy with FATF Recommendation 15. Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM requires customer and beneficial-owner identification under article 20, ongoing monitoring under article 21, enhanced measures for politically exposed persons under article 23, ten-year record retention under article 39 and suspicious-transaction reporting to ANIF under article 105.
• sanctions The Central African Republic sanctions regime was established by resolution 2127 (2013), adopted on 5 December 2013, and extended by resolution 2134 (2014) to a travel ban and asset freeze; it was renewed by resolutions 2399 (2018), 2454 (2019), 2507 (2020), 2536 (2020), 2588 (2021), 2648 (2022), 2693 (2023), 2745 (2024), 2789 (2025) and 2827 (2026), the last adopted on 29 July 2026 and running to 31 July 2027. The arms embargo on the Central African Republic as a State was lifted by Security Council resolution 2745 (2024), adopted 30 July 2024; the embargo now applies only to armed groups and associated individuals and entities operating in the Central African Republic, and resolution 2827 (2026) of 29 July 2026 extended that targeted measure to 31 July 2027, the sanctions committee having been renamed the Committee pursuant to resolution 2745 (2024). The Central African Republic sanctions regime imposes a travel ban on designated individuals under the UN measures administered by the Committee pursuant to resolution 2745 (2024), currently extended to 31 July 2027, and separately under the United Kingdom's Central African Republic (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, where the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs designates persons and designation makes them excluded persons for UK immigration purposes. All UN Member States must freeze the funds and economic resources of individuals and entities designated by the Committee pursuant to resolution 2745 (2024) for engaging in or supporting acts that undermine peace and stability in the Central African Republic, for violating the arms embargo that now binds armed groups and associated entities after being lifted for the State, or for involvement in human rights abuses; the measure runs to 31 July 2027 under resolution 2827 (2026). Compliance Requirements for VASPs: VASPs globally must screen their customers (KYC/CDD) and transactions against the UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List. Any transaction involving a designated individual or entity, or facilitating prohibited activities (e.g., arms embargo circumvention), is strictly prohibited. UNSC CAR Sanctions Committee: https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/sanctions/2127 UN Consolidated Sanctions List: https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/un-sc-consolidated-list The United States Central African Republic sanctions programme rests on Executive Order 13667 of 12 May 2014, Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in the Central African Republic, implemented by the Central African Republic Sanctions Regulations at 31 CFR part 553; Executive Order 13645 of 3 June 2013 is an Iran instrument authorising sanctions under the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012 and was revoked in January 2016.
• securities Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) – U.S. Treasury department responsible for implementing and enforcing economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, regimes, individuals, and organizations. Executive Order 13667 of 13 May 2014, Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in the Central African Republic, is implemented by OFAC through the Central African Republic Sanctions Regulations at 31 CFR part 553 and blocks property of designated persons rather than imposing a country-wide embargo on the Central African Republic. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) – 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701‑1706, enabling the President to regulate commerce in response to emergencies, which can indirectly affect crypto activities if linked to sanctioned parties. OFAC administers a list-based Central African Republic sanctions programme under Executive Order 13667 and 31 CFR part 553, and the Central African Republic sits on neither FATF list as of the June 2026 plenary. Virtual-asset obligations reach the country through Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM du 20 décembre 2024 and the COSUMAF licensing regime rather than through FATF recommendations applying of their own force. A licensing regime for digital-asset services covers the Central African Republic as a CEMAC member state: Règlement n° 01/22/CEMAC/UMAC/CM/COSUMAF du 21 juillet 2022 brings digital tokens within the appel public à l'épargne regime and requires COSUMAF agrément for digital-asset service providers, and the COSUMAF Règlement Général of 23 May 2023 defines jeton and PSAN and establishes the first community framework for such providers. The regime is in force but not yet operational, since COSUMAF has published no implementing instruction, fixed no minimum capital and granted no agrément. OFAC issues licenses for sanctioned activities (e.g., legal fees, humanitarian exemptions), but these do not extend to unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges or wallets unless directly tied to sanctioned entities. No minimum capital or monetary threshold applies to digital-asset service providers in the Central African Republic, because COSUMAF has not published the instruction implementing its Règlement Général of 23 May 2023 that would fix application requirements, capital and fees. Virtual-asset service providers are nevertheless already caught by Règlement n° 02/24/CEMAC/UMAC/CM du 20 décembre 2024, under which occasional transactions above 500 000 FCFA trigger customer due-diligence duties. Authorisation to provide digital-asset services in the Central African Republic runs through COSUMAF agrément under Règlement n° 01/22/CEMAC/UMAC/CM/COSUMAF du 21 juillet 2022 and the COSUMAF Règlement Général of 23 May 2023, which is a proactive licensing pathway, even though the implementing instruction setting out the application file and timelines remains unpublished. OFAC specific licences authorise United States persons to engage in otherwise blocked transactions and confer no right to provide digital-asset services in the Central African Republic.
• stablecoin The Central African Republic's crypto framework is Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 régissant la cryptomonnaie en République Centrafricaine, not a 'Sango Act' and not Loi n° 22.007; Loi n° 23.005 du 6 avril 2023 amended it to remove legal-tender status and the state convertibility guarantee, and a separate 2023 statute opened the tokenisation of land and natural resources. Electronic money and payment services in the Central African Republic are governed by Règlement n° 04/18/CEMAC/UMAC/COBAC du 21 décembre 2018 relatif aux services de paiement dans la CEMAC, adopted by the UMAC Ministerial Committee with COBAC as prudential supervisor; BEAC is the common central bank of the union but issues no stablecoin or virtual-asset instrument. No Central African statute called the Sango Act exists; article 4 of Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 defines cryptomonnaie as a peer-to-peer digital currency together with blockchain, mining, smart contracts, volatility and traders, and the law creates no category for stablecoins or for virtual assets in the FATF sense. No CEMAC or BEAC instrument addresses stablecoins pegged to the CFA franc; the only regional acts on crypto are Décision COBAC D-2022/071 du 6 mai 2022 barring supervised institutions from crypto exposure, Règlement n° 01/22/CEMAC/UMAC/CM/COSUMAF du 21 juillet 2022 and the COSUMAF Règlement Général of 23 May 2023, none of which creates a parity or reserve rule for stablecoins. Règlement n° 02/18/CEMAC/UMAC/CM du 21 décembre 2018 is the CEMAC foreign-exchange regulation, portant réglementation des changes dans la CEMAC, in force since 1 March 2019; the instrument governing electronic-money issuance and payment services is Règlement n° 04/18/CEMAC/UMAC/COBAC of the same date. Article 14 of Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 requires miners to declare their gains in legal currency at the reference rate; the law imposes no reserve or client-asset safeguarding obligation on crypto service providers, and no statute called the Sango Act exists. Reference: While a direct official government link for the Sango Act's full text is challenging to find publicly, its provisions are widely referenced in legal analyses (e.g., those by international law firms regarding CAR's crypto adoption). The law was passed by the National Assembly and promulgated by presidential decree. Electronic money in CEMAC is issued against receipt of funds under Règlement n° 04/18/CEMAC/UMAC/COBAC du 21 décembre 2018, with COBAC exercising prudential supervision over payment institutions and electronic-money issuers; the instrument cited by the record, Règlement n° 02/18/CEMAC/UMAC/CM, is the foreign-exchange regulation and contains no such rule.
• status Ministry of Economy Forestière, de l'Environnement et du Tourisme – oversees environmental and economic matters but has not issued specific crypto regulations. Central Bank of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (BCEAO) – does not regulate virtual assets; its mandate focuses on monetary policy for the CEMAC region. Primary Laws: No dedicated legislation exists for cryptocurrencies or digital assets in CAR. Existing financial laws (e.g., laws governing banking, securities, and anti‑money laundering) apply only peripherally to crypto activities. The country is a member of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). FATF status: Not listed on the FATF List of Countries with Strategic AML Deficiencies; however, the latest Mutual Evaluation report from 2024 notes compliance gaps related to crypto‑related risks. Official Gazette: No recent entries in the Bulletin Officiel concerning virtual currencies. Who Needs a License? None specifically for cryptocurrency services under current CAR law. Activities Requiring Licensing: Banking, payment institutions, and money transmission are regulated by the Ministry of Economy Forestière; crypto‑related activities fall outside these scopes without explicit legal provisions.
• tax The Central African cryptocurrency statute is Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 régissant la cryptomonnaie en République Centrafricaine, not a Law n° 22.001 of 27 April 2022; it never displaced the franc CFA, and the National Assembly amended it on 23 March 2023 to delete the obligation on economic agents to accept cryptocurrency. Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 does carry tax rules: article 8 exempts cryptocurrency exchanges from tax and article 16 taxes the profit realised by the trader, while article 7 allows tax to be paid in cryptocurrency through platforms recognised by the State; the Code général des impôts supplies everything else and mentions no digital asset. Article 8 of Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 expressly provides that exchanges in cryptocurrency are not subject to tax in the Central African Republic, and article 16 taxes the profit made by the trader, so the absence of tax on an exchange follows from an express statutory exemption rather than from bitcoin's former legal-tender treatment. Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 applies to cryptomonnaies generically — article 4 defines a cryptomonnaie as a peer-to-peer digital currency issued without a central bank and recorded on a blockchain — so the article 8 exemption of exchanges and the article 16 tax on trader profits cover assets other than bitcoin on identical terms. General CGT for Businesses/Investment: For businesses, gains from the disposal of assets (including potential intangible assets like non-Bitcoin cryptos if they are part of a business's portfolio) are typically integrated into corporate income and taxed at the corporate income tax rate. Salaries/Wages: If an individual is paid in Bitcoin for services rendered, it would be considered taxable income, just like payment in CFA francs. The value at the time of receipt would be subject to individual income tax (Impôt sur le Revenu des Personnes Physiques - IRPP) rates. Article 9 of Loi n° 22.004 du 22 avril 2022 makes the legal currency used in the Central African Republic the reference currency for accounting, so a business that accepts cryptocurrency books the transaction in francs CFA, and article 16 subjects the trader's profit to tax while article 8 exempts the exchange itself from tax. Mining/Staking/Lending: Income generated from activities like cryptocurrency mining (if considered a business activity), staking rewards, or lending interest in Bitcoin would likely be treated as business income or "other income" and subject to general income tax rules for individuals or corporate tax for businesses.
• travel rule No regulatory authority in the Central African Republic has been designated or publicly identified as responsible for virtual asset service provider (VASP) licensing, registration, or travel-rule compliance oversight. Travel Advisory: Central African Republic January 2026 - U.S. Embassy in Central African Republic No licensing regime exists for cryptocurrency businesses, and no entities have been licensed to operate as VASPs or digital asset service providers in the country. Central African Republic travel advice - GOV.UK The country remains under a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory due to unrest, crime, kidnapping, landmines, health risks, and terrorism, indicating severe practical limitations on any business operations. Central African Republic Travel Advisory The practical reality is that no crypto travel-rule compliance infrastructure, supervisory body, or reporting mechanism exists; any virtual asset business operates in a complete regulatory vacuum with no official guidance. Central African Republic Travel Advice & Safety | Smartraveller The Central African Republic has no primary legislation, law, decree, or ordinance governing cryptocurrency, digital assets, virtual asset service providers, or travel-rule obligations; no such law has been identified in any official source. Central African Republic Travel Advisory | Travel.State.gov No regulatory body with acronym or website has been established or named to oversee virtual assets, digital currencies, or financial technology in the Central African Republic; no financial regulator has published any statement on crypto assets. Travel Advisory: Central African Republic January 2026 - U.S. Embassy in Central African Republic There is no evidence that the Central African Republic has adopted or transposed FATF Recommendation 15 (new technologies) or Recommendation 16 (wire transfers, including the travel rule) into domestic law.
