Greece approves 10% tax on crypto gains starting in 2027
Greece has approved a 10% tax on cryptocurrency gains starting in 2027, with an exemption for investors whose annual net gains do not exceed 500 euros.
Greece has enacted a 10% tax on cryptocurrency gains as of 2027, according to legislation approved by the Hellenic Parliament on Thursday. The new tax applies to profits from the sale of crypto assets, excluding investors whose annual gains remain under 500 euros. The legislation, part of a broader bill addressing loan oversight, debt protections, and financial market regulation, mandates a 15% tax on income derived from staking, crypto lending, and providing liquidity to decentralized protocols.
Crypto transactions used to purchase goods or services may also be subject to capital gains tax. Crypto-to-crypto exchanges are not taxed. Investors are granted a 12-month window to report previously unclaimed crypto gains, with the tax due within 60 days of filing to avert penalties and interest. The ministry proposed the tax in October, providing 12 months for voluntary declarations and tax payments to remain penalty-free.
