How Vanuatu taxes crypto
Vanuatu is widely known as a low-tax jurisdiction because it does not generally levy personal income tax or capital gains tax on individuals. In this simplified comparison model, cryptocurrency investment gains for individual holders are shown at 0% for both short-term and long-term disposals. Treatment may still differ if the activity is carried out through a business, licensed financial service, employment structure, or another taxable commercial arrangement, so users should keep records and confirm current local guidance before relying on a final tax position.
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.
