Greece Plans 10% Tax on Yearly Crypto Gains Over €500
Greece has proposed a 10% tax on annual cryptocurrency profits exceeding €500, according to Coin Bureau. The measure would target gains from crypto activity rather than taxing holdings themselves. It is described as Greece’s first tax specifically aimed at crypto profits.
Greece has reportedly put forward its first tax aimed directly at cryptocurrency earnings. Under the plan attributed to Coin Bureau, a 10% charge would apply once yearly profits pass €500, while amounts at or below that level would not face the levy.
The proposal centers on gains tied to crypto activity, not on merely owning digital assets. Coin Bureau shared the details in an X post, presenting the €500 annual threshold and 10% rate as the main elements of the reported framework.
If enacted, this could affect Greek crypto users who exceed €500 in annual profits, potentially requiring record-keeping and tax reporting. It may also influence how casual traders view small gains, since amounts below threshold would remain outside the proposed levy. Broader society might see clearer tax treatment for crypto activity, though enforcement and compliance burdens could vary by taxpayer.
