With nearly 9 million users, the government is preparing its first-ever legal and tax framework for digital assets, a move that could reshape the country’s financial landscape.
The Federal Board of Revenue is reportedly working on ways to tax profits, income, and assets from crypto trading and mining. The goal is to increase transparency, generate revenue, and formally recognize the rapidly growing crypto sector.
This initiative follows a directive from the Federal Tax Ombudsman, which called for a clear policy on digital currencies.
If implemented, this framework could mark Pakistan’s official entry into the global crypto economy, paving the way for innovation, accountability, and wider adoption. Markets should be ready for potential volatility.
