According to Bitcoin Magazine, Greece is planning to enact legislation that would impose a tax on capital gains from cryptocurrency investments at a rate of 15%. The development was reported by Reuters and local media sources. No details regarding implementation timelines, scope definitions, or exemptions have been provided in the available report.
The proposed measure targets investors’ profits from selling or exchanging cryptocurrencies, aligning with typical capital gains treatment for financial assets under Greek tax policy. The exact wording of the law, administrative procedures, or retroactive application are not specified in the source material. Greece’s tax authority has not issued public guidance on the proposal at this stage.
The announcement follows ongoing discussions about regulatory clarity for digital asset markets in Greece. No official government statement or draft text was cited in the report. The 15% rate mentioned refers specifically to capital gains, not income or holding taxes, according to the source.
