The
Victory Attorneys National Moot Court Committee proudly announces the 5th Edition
of the Victory Attorneys National Moot Court Competition 2025, themed “Taxation
of Digital Assets: Domestic, Regional and International Regulatory Frameworks.”
This
year’s competition will bring together law students from universities across
Tanzania to explore the emerging legal and policy challenges surrounding
digital asset taxation, a rapidly evolving area intersecting technology,

cross-border taxation of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain-based assets.
