Crypto tax in British Indian Ocean Territory

Crypto in British Indian Ocean Territory is unclear / unsettled.

British Indian Ocean Territory has no resident civilian tax system of its own, and there is no clear official guidance on how an individual’s crypto gains would be taxed there, so you should assume treatment will depend on your home country’s tax residence rules rather than any BIOT-specific regime.

“This multinational survey reports on the tax treatment of cryptocurrency block rewards in selected jurisdictions, but British overseas territories such as the British Indian Ocean Territory are not among the jurisdictions covered, and no separate territorial tax regime for BIOT is identified.” — Law Library of Congress (showing only selected national tax authorities; no entry for British Indian Ocean Territory)
