Weekly Roundup: Kenya’s Capital Markets Bill 2022 Seeks to Tax Crypto Transactions & More

Weekly Roundup: Kenya’s Capital Markets Bill 2022 Seeks to Tax Crypto Transactions & More
In this week’s news roundup, you will read about Kenyan legislators getting ready to debate the new Capital Markets 2022 bill that seeks to tax cryptocurrencies in the country and more.
Kenya’s Capital Markets Bill 2022 Seeks to Tax Crypto Transactions
A Kenyan Member of Parliament has introduced a new Bill – dubbed the Capital Markets (Amendment) Bill 2022 – that seeks to introduce taxation on crypto exchanges and digital wallets, as well as impose transaction taxes on cryptocurrency transactions executed in the country.
The proposed Bill will give the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) the mandate to go after Kenyans who own digital currencies for the purposes of imposing taxation on their crypto holdings. Additionally, the proposed Bill is the first time that the East African country will bring digital currencies mainstream and establish regulations around cryptocurrencies. The Bill suggests a capital gains tax for the increased market value of crypto during its sale or use in a transaction. The proposed capital gains tax is akin to the excise duty tax charged by banks on transactions. 
Interestingly, the fragments of the Bill are quite similar to the policy interventions that were published by UNCTAD in July 2022 and aimed at helping to curb the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. The Bill is being presented as an attempt to justify crypto regulations in the country as a way of protecting Kenyans from such investments.
IMF Claims Africa’s Growing Crypto Market Needs Better Regulations
Following the collapse of the crypto exchange, FTX, and the crypto bear market witnessed thus far in 2022, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) claims that it might be time to push for calls to regulate the crypto markets in Africa in order to protect consumers. 
While acknowledging that regulating a highly volatile decentralized system that is highly volatile remains a challenge for most governments, the IMF believes that a balance can be achieved that minimizes risks and innovation. According to the IMF, only one-quarter of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have formally regulated digital currencies. In contrast, two-thirds have enacted some restrictions, and only six countries have banned crypto. 
Given that crypto assets are mainly used for commercial purposes, the IMF believes their volatility makes them unsuitable as a store of value. And considering that Africa has a fast-growing crypto market compared to other continents in the world, it might be an ideal time for policymakers to regulate the crypto space in the continent to avoid creating risks for financial and macroeconomic stability.
