Tax Reporting

Reference: Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) official statements and warnings on virtual currencies. While specific dedicated pages might change, the CBJ's position is consistently communicated through press releases and official advisories.. General CBJ website: https://www.cbj.gov.jo/. Search for news/press releases related to "cryptocurrency" or "virtual assets" on their site.. Individuals: Jordan generally does not impose a separate capital gains tax on the sale of movable assets (like shares, bonds, or, by extension, cryptocurrencies if considered an asset) held by individuals, provided these gains are not derived from a "business activity.". If an individual frequently trades cryptocurrencies in a manner that could be construed as a business activity, the profits could theoretically be subject to income tax under general principles. However, given the CBJ's ban, engaging in such activities regularly might also raise regulatory concerns.
