Still, the draft law, which is at the public consultation stage, introduces the concept of taxing crypto and virtual asset income. It also provides Albania’s first definition of a virtual asset.
“A digital representation of a value that can be deposited, traded or transferred in digital form, and that can be used for payment or investment purposes or as a medium of exchange, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies,” the draft reads, according to Exit News.
