The UAE’s Federal Tax Authority issued new VAT guidance in January 2025, clarifying tax obligations for cryptocurrency miners and distinguishing between personal mining and mining services provided to others.
-
Personal mining without a service recipient isn’t taxable, and related input VAT on expenses like equipment and electricity isn’t recoverable under UAE crypto VAT regulations.
-
Mining services for others are taxable: domestic clients incur 5% VAT, while international clients may qualify for zero-rating if specific Executive Regulation conditions are met.
-
Maintaining detailed records, proper documentation, and consulting crypto tax professionals are crucial for compliance with evolving UAE cryptocurrency VAT laws and maximizing input VAT recovery opportunities.
