Greece plans to impose a 10% tax rate on personal cryptocurrency capital gains, with annual exemptions below 500 euros
The Greek government recently released a new draft proposing to impose a 10% tax rate on personal cryptocurrency capital gains, while stipulating that income up to 500 euros per year can be exempt from tax. The draft has been submitted to the public consultation stage.
This proposal, announced by the Greek Ministry of Economy and Finance on October 7, 2026, is part of a package of policies covering private debt, financial markets and digital assets. The government said the introduction of provisions related to cryptoassets aims to fill gaps in existing tax laws and establish a clear framework for the tax treatment of digital assets.
Trading Rules and Exemption Details
Under the proposed rules, taxable income is usually calculated as the difference between the acquisition price and transfer price of the crypto asset. The draft also establishes rules for recording transactions and calculating the average acquisition price when purchasing the same asset multiple times.
It is worth noting that the 500 euro tax exemption applies to total capital gains for the entire tax year, rather than for each individual transaction. In addition, crypto-to-crypto swaps are not considered a trigger for capital gains tax in the proposal.
Pledge and loan income is included in the scope of taxation
The draft not only covers profits generated by the sale of cryptocurrencies, but also treats income from crypto lending, liquidity provision and staking as interest income and is taxed at a rate of 10%.
提案还将加密货币购买归类为希腊税收抵免规则下的资产购置支出。对于员工、合伙人或股东以实物形式获得的加密资产,草案设定了估值规则;同时,针对通过继承、捐赠或父母转移等方式获得的加密货币,也设有单独的条款进行规范。
立法进程与政策调整
目前,希腊正就该草案进行公众咨询,截止日期为10月22日。政府计划将立法提交议会,并有望在11月的第一周进行投票。这意味着10%的税率尚未正式生效。
这一最新提案与此前6月报道的计划有所变化。当时希腊正准备实施15%的税率,同样附带500欧元的年度免税额。
关于该提案的预期财政收入,希腊当局表示由于许多投资者使用位于希腊境外的平台,难以准确衡量该国加密市场的规模,因此未提供具体的收入估算。
