In the end, there will be two phases to Andorra’s adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies:
Phase 1: Tokenization of digital assets in closed systems;
Phase 2: The fourth Transitional Provision of the Digital Assets Act mandates that the Andorran government draft a regulatory framework for the widespread use of digital assets as financial instruments within a 12-month period.
The main points of the Digital Assets Act are legal persons, nature persons, VAT, and determination of capital gains or losses.
Effective date: 20th of October 2022
