    In Guatemala, the tax regulations for Bitcoin are still evolving. As of now, Bitcoin is not considered legal tender in the country, but it is not explicitly banned either. The tax authorities have not issued specific guidelines on how to treat Bitcoin for tax purposes. However, it is generally recommended to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with any potential tax obligations related to Bitcoin transactions. Failure to report Bitcoin transactions and pay any applicable taxes could result in penalties.
