Banks and cryptocurrencies
As banks cannot operate with crypto, most Hondurans use P2P platforms or foreign exchanges. Keep records to justify the acquisition cost.
Regional context
Many Latin American countries still do not have specific tax laws for cryptocurrencies and apply general income tax rules. Several also apply the principle of territoriality: they only tax local-source income. Always keep a history of purchases and sales in local currency.
Before filing: have your history in order
The first step to a proper tax declaration is to download the complete transaction history from each platform you use. MiCA-licensed exchanges often provide ready-to-use annual reports, which significantly simplifies the filing process.
