Greece May Introduce a 10-Percent Tax on Income from Cryptocurrency Transactions

Greece plans to introduce a 10% tax on capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions, according to Reuters.

The corresponding bill was submitted for public comment on October 8. The bill is expected to be submitted to parliament for consideration in November.

Earlier, in June, the possibility of setting the tax rate at 15% was discussed. The new version of the bill provides for a tax exemption on income from cryptocurrency transactions amounting to less than 500 euros per year.

Currently, Greece lacks a comprehensive legal framework for taxing cryptocurrency transactions. At the same time, there is no unified system for taxing income from crypto assets within the European Union.

According to Reuters, capital gains tax rates on cryptocurrency transactions in European countries range from approximately 8% to 30%.

Greek authorities have previously noted that they cannot accurately assess the size of the domestic cryptocurrency market, as a significant portion of investors use foreign platforms.

Consequently, the government does not yet have precise estimates of potential additional budget revenues following the introduction of the new tax.
