Greece plans to impose a 15% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency gains.
CoinFeed reported on June 6th that, according to Reuters, the Greek government is drafting legislation to levy a 15% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency investment income, and it is expected to be submitted to parliament for review in the coming months. A senior government official stated that the bill aims to formally incorporate cryptocurrencies into the Greek tax system. Currently, Greece has not established a complete tax framework for cryptocurrencies, and there is no unified tax system for crypto assets among EU member states. It is understood that the new regulations propose that the first €500 (approximately $580) of an individual's cryptocurrency income be tax-free. Individual cryptocurrency mining activities will not be taxed, but if the mining entity is a registered company, it will be required to pay taxes according to law.
