The Detail

While crypto income is taxable in Nigeria, the payment of that tax is in naira through standard FIRS channels. The conversion step matters because crypto to naira at the moment of disposal also creates a taxable event itself (depending on whether it's income vs capital gains in your specific case). Consult a Nigerian tax practitioner for your situation.
