FTA Outlines 3 Steps to Convert Crypto to AED
The Federal Tax Authority in the UAE has issued a new directive outlining the procedure for converting the value of digital currencies into Emirati dirhams for VAT purposes. The directive states that taxpayers must convert the value of digital currencies received in exchange for goods or services into dirhams by selecting three approved trading platforms and using the average exchange rate of those platforms on the specified date. This measure aims to enhance transparency and confidence in digital transactions, as the UAE expands the use of digital currencies as a payment method across various sectors such as aviation, real estate, and retail to support international trade and improve financial inclusion. The approved platforms include names like Binance, Paypt, and Dierbit. This directive is part of the country's efforts to enable financial technology and strengthen its position as a hub for digital assets.
