Foreign Investors’ Bitcoin Profits Tax-Free: El Salvador

No tax payable by foreign investors on their Bitcoin capital gains in El Salvador

El Salvador Bitcoin

El Salvador literally translates to “The Saviour.” As for the cryptoverse, El Salvador rather resonates to being “the Crypto Saviour.” A recent law pertaining to making Bitcoin El Salvador’s “legal tender” gave a fitting answer to crypto sceptics globally. Javier Argueta’s (President’s legal adviser) announcement on tax-free Bitcoin profits for foreign investors in El Salvador is delighting bitcoiners.

In a recent interview given to AFP, Argueta quotes the following:

If a person has assets in bitcoin and makes high profits, there will be no tax. This (is done) obviously to encourage foreign investment. There will be no taxes to pay on either the capital increase or the income.

The decision to make foreign investors’ Bitcoin capital gains tax-free in El Salvador intends to invite foreign capital. While the current capital gains tax in El Salvador is net profits’ 10%, securities are taxable, as well. 

Bitcoin Law

The Bitcoin Law’s (the Law) Article 5 mentions specifically that capital gains tax won’t be attracted by bitcoin exchanges. Although, the Law doesn’t state exemptions, if any, for foreign industries, businesses, or traders. Incentives for companies to establish their base in El Salvador are planned. President Nayib Bukele has expressed great inclination towards developing services surrounding Bitcoin, fuelled by foreign capital.

Note that no executive order has been passed yet to support Argueta’s statements. An air of contradiction flows as the President seems to be having a notion that using Bitcoin will be optional. Whereas the Bitcoin Law specifies that accepting Bitcoin will be mandatory.

Bitcoin Concerns

Concerns of policymakers and regulators have emerged for Bitcoin’s national usage, so also have fears of the people. These pertain to volatility, price inflation impact (given the unemployment and security issues), and its illegal (money laundering, drug trafficking and arms’ financing) use. Although the government is keenly implementing international institutions’ anti-money laundering suggestions.

Protests took place against BTC as a legal tender in El Salvador wherein a Bitcoin ATM was burned, BBC reports. These stem from the fears of “instability and inflation” in the protestors. Protesters don’t understand the benefits to Salvadorians working abroad using remittances to send Bitcoin home. On the 200th anniversary of El Salvador’s independence, capital San Salvador saw placards reading “No to Bitcoin” and “Respect the Constitution.”

Businesses Start Accepting Bitcoin

McDonalds, though, has begun accepting Bitcoin as a payment mode in El Salvador. Bitcoin, as a legal tender, would give for the first time ever a bank access to many Salvadorians.
