希腊加密货币税收草案核心内容

希腊政府近日公布了一项关于加密货币利润征税的新法案草案。根据该草案,针对加密货币投资产生的资本利得将征收 10% 的税率。同时,法案规定每年最高 500 欧元(约合 560 美元)的加密货币收益可享受免税待遇。

目前,该草案正处于公开征求意见阶段,并计划于 11 月提交至希腊议会进行审议。在此之前,希腊财政部曾于 2026 年 6 月提出过一项替代方案,建议将税率提高至 15%,但保留了相同的 500 欧元免税额度。新版本的草案在维持免税门槛不变的情况下,将税率下调至 10%,但官方尚未说明这一调整的具体原因。

草案中的关键细节与未决问题

截至目前,希腊尚无完善的针对加密货币利润征税的法律框架。这项新法案旨在确立明确的数字资产收益税率及年度豁免额。然而,草案提供的详细信息有限,存在若干待明确之处:

  • 阈值应用方式: 超过 500 欧元阈值的利润将被纳入 10% 的征税范围,但具体如何计算和应用该阈值尚不明确。
  • 亏损抵扣: 草案未详细说明投资者是否可以将加密货币交易中的亏损用于抵扣应税收益。
  • 钱包转账税务处理:Whether transfers of funds between different wallets will be regarded as taxable events is still inconclusive.
  • Transaction valuation standards: The draft also does not provide specific guidance on the valuation method of cryptocurrency transactions.

Tax revenue expectations and market reality

Since most Greek investors use trading platforms located abroad to trade, Greek officials say it is difficult to accurately measure the size of the country's cryptocurrency market. Therefore, the government has not currently made a specific forecast of the possible fiscal revenue generated by this tax policy.

Background of EU crypto tax regulations and reporting requirements

It is worth noting that there is no unified cryptocurrency tax system among EU member states. Tax rates vary widely among European countries, usually between 8% and 30%, and are mainly levied on capital gains.

Greece's proposal comes in the first year of implementation of the EU DAC8 Directive. The directive, which takes effect on January 1, 2026, requires cryptocurrency exchanges and other service providers to collect customer identities, tax identification numbers and transaction data. Relevant data for 2026 will be shared among tax authorities in various countries in 2027. Although DAC8 has established a data-sharing mechanism, it does not set a uniform tax rate, and each member state still retains the right to formulate its own tax rules.

In addition, encryption regulation within the EU also faces certain legal challenges. For example, in September this year, the French Administrative Court rejected emergency requests from companies such as Bull Bitcoin and Paymium to suspend enforcement of the DAC8 decree, although other lawsuits were still ongoing. The Spanish Revenue Authority also pointed out during the same period that if investors control their private keys, cryptocurrencies stored in self-managed wallets are not within the reporting scope of their Form 721 return.

Looking around the world, the UK tax authority reported that during the 2024 - 2025 tax year, 17,600 taxpayers declared taxable crypto gains worth £ 1.38 billion. British authorities are expected to start receiving encrypted customer data in accordance with international rules in 2027.

As the public consultation period ends, the Greek Parliament will conduct final review of the draft. At that time, Lawmakers will discuss the proposed 10% cryptocurrency capital gains tax.
