The Brazilian government is set to follow El Salvador’s example of making cryptocurrency into a legal tender but it is still set behind the adaption of that rule.

Taxes and Regulation

The Brazilian government is trying to pass a bill about Cryptocurrency. The bill would force virtual asset service providers to follow rules of communication of financial transactions, with identification of customers and recordkeeping. The bill would also increase the penalty for money laundering crimes using virtual currencies. Brazilian tax laws do not provide for specific provisions regarding cryptocurrencies.
