Mauritania has no published, crypto‑specific rules from its tax authority, so a relocating individual must assume general income/capital‑gains principles apply but the exact treatment of private crypto gains is still unclear.
“Capital gains realised in the performance of professional, commercial, and agricultural activities are taxed as ordinary income. Capital gains on real estate assets resulting from the sale for valuable consideration or free of built and non-built properties located in Mauritania and those resulting from the direct or indirect transfer of mining permits issued in Mauritania are subject to the Property Income Tax.” — PwC summary of Mauritanian tax law (based on Direction générale des Impôts)
