How Afghanistan taxes crypto
Afghanistan does not have a clearly established, dedicated cryptocurrency tax regime in mainstream public guidance, so crypto gains are commonly analyzed under broader income-tax principles rather than a bespoke capital gains framework. For comparison purposes, this app uses a simplified 20% reference rate for individual crypto gains, with no separate long-term holding relief. Because enforcement, regulation, and formal guidance can evolve quickly, users should keep careful records of acquisition cost, disposal value, and dates, and verify local professional advice before relying on a final tax position.
The same rate applies however long you held.

| Held | Rate | Taken | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term | 20% | 2,000 | 8,000 |
This is the arithmetic the app runs on your device. Real liability depends on your residency, income, allowances and how the authority classifies your activity. Treat it as an estimate and check with a qualified adviser before you act.
