Finland vs South Sudan
Crypto regulation comparison
Finland
South Sudan
Legal
No Regulation
Cryptocurrency is legal in Finland and well-regulated by the FIN-FSA. Crypto gains are taxed as capital income at 30% (34% for gains exceeding €30,000). Finland is one of few EU countries that has actively enforced tax compliance on crypto through data requests to exchanges.
South Sudan has no specific cryptocurrency regulation. Political instability and very limited infrastructure make crypto regulation a non-priority.
