Bosnia and Herzegovina

Portugal

Portugal

Partially Regulated
Legal

Bosnia and Herzegovina has no comprehensive crypto legislation. The Central Bank warns crypto is not legal tender and banks cannot convert crypto to BAM. Crypto trading is legal. A 2024 AML law designates VASPs as obligated entities. Republika Srpska gave crypto legal status as digital records of value in 2022. Corporate tax on crypto is 10%.

Portugal was formerly a crypto tax haven with 0% capital gains tax on crypto for individuals, but the 2023 State Budget introduced a 28% capital gains tax on crypto held for less than one year. Crypto held for over 365 days remains tax-free for individuals. Banco de Portugal registers VASPs for AML compliance, and Portugal transitions to MiCA. Portugal attracted many crypto entrepreneurs due to its previously favorable tax regime and NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) program.
