How Bahamas taxes crypto
The Bahamas is widely known as a tax-neutral jurisdiction for individuals because it does not levy personal income tax or capital gains tax. In this simplified comparison model, cryptocurrency investment gains for individual holders are shown at 0% for both short-term and long-term disposals. Users should still keep records and confirm current local rules if their activity goes beyond passive individual investing or involves regulated business activity.
The same rate applies however long you held.

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.
