In October 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) abolished value-added taxes (VAT) on transfers and conversions of cryptocurrencies, and taxes are abolished starting from January 1, 2018. That is, UAE companies are exempt from taxes on transactions with cryptocurrencies, and if taxes have already been paid earlier, they can expect to be reimbursed for all taxes starting in 2018.
