Currency in Cuba, Pesos Cubanos Convertibles

The only official currency in Cuba since January 1, 2021 is the CUP (Cuban Pesos).

It is important to mention that the exchange of U.S. dollars to Cuban pesos is NO longer subject to a 10% tax; as it was a measure repealed in July 2020.

Until the end of 2020, Cuba had a double economy, the official currencies in Cuba since then being the Cuban pesos (CUP) and the Cuban convertible pesos (CUC).

The value of the Cuban convertible peso (CUC) was US $ 1.00.

Finally, after the elimination of the CUC, a value of 24 CUP was established for each CUC.
