What is on this page is verified against the sources listed below. It records the shape of the regime and the reporting duty. Still to be added once our research is reviewed: exemptions. This regime sets no crypto rate, so none will be added.

No tax rule written for crypto

The sources below set no tax rule of their own for crypto. Gains are taxed, or not, under the general law the page names; where the authority publishes guidance or a reporting form, the page says so.

The St Helena Government income-tax page says that a person's taxable income includes capital gains and states a separate charge on chargeable income representing capital gains. The page does not mention bitcoin or crypto-assets, so it does not establish that those general rules apply to a bitcoin sale, spending transaction, or exchange.

Regime: No crypto-specific rule
Reporting duty: Self-employed people and companies must submit tax returns and year-end accounts by 30 June. The page also lists 31 July as a tax-return submission date. It does not specify bitcoin reporting or declaration of holdings.
