Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is working on a plan to tax crypto transactions as part of a broader effort to increase government revenue, Bloomberg reported<\/a> on Feb. 18.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the regulatory body intends to bring eligible crypto transactions on licensed exchanges under the country's tax framework<\/a>. Meanwhile, a\u00a0bill outlining the tax structure is under review and could be approved within the quarter.<\/p>\n

While the SEC has not disclosed the expected revenue from this initiative, officials believe it will generate a significant amount because Nigeria is\u00a0one of the leading countries in crypto adoption.<\/p>\n

Some exchanges have already begun implementing tax measures. KuCoin<\/a>, a major trading platform in Nigeria, started collecting a 7.5% value-added tax (VAT)<\/a> on trading fees from its Nigerian users last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, industry experts suggest the taxation policy may indicate a shift in the government's stance on crypto. Last year, the SEC implemented a licensing framework that issued provisional licenses to platforms like Busha and Quidax<\/a> as registered virtual asset service providers (VASPs).<\/p>\n

Ongoing Binance dispute<\/h2>\n

The tax development comes amid Nigeria's ongoing standoff with Binance<\/a>. Over the past year, authorities have clashed with the global exchange over regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 14, Nigeria's Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, dismissed bribery allegations made by Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan and urged the public to disregard them.<\/p>\n

Gambaryan had claimed that Nigerian officials<\/a> sought bribes from Binance representatives and denied accusations that crypto exchanges were manipulating the naira.<\/p>\n

However, the authorities denied the allegations, saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“We categorically deny the retaliatory claims made by Mr. Gambaryan against Nigerian officials involved in his case, and we urge the public to disregard these false accusations in their entirety.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The authorities also accused Binance of attempting to pay a $5 million deposit to secure Gambaryan's release.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the government stated that it instead reached a diplomatic agreement with the US for his release on humanitarian grounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
