Buenos Aires Lets Residents Pay City Taxes With Crypto, Including Dogecoin
Buenos Aires has announced that residents and businesses can now use digital assets to settle municipal taxes and other administrative fees, and the policy specifically includes Dogecoin alongside other cryptocurrencies. The city frames the change as an expansion of payment options for taxpayers and a step toward modernizing public services.
The move positions Buenos Aires among a growing number of governments experimenting with crypto for public payments and could simplify transactions for tech-savvy users and cross-border residents. It also raises practical questions around volatility, tax reporting and the payment infrastructure the city will use to process and convert crypto receipts, all areas officials will need to clarify as the program rolls out.
