Greece Passes 10% Crypto Capital Gains Tax in Sweeping First Framework
Greece has passed a 10% capital gains tax on crypto, the country's first comprehensive crypto tax framework, per CoinDesk. Gains under €500 a year are exempt. It gives Greek crypto holders one clear rate — and a small break for the little guys.
Greece just put a number on crypto gains. Lawmakers passed a 10% capital gains tax on crypto, marking the country's first comprehensive crypto tax framework, according to CoinDesk.
There's a carve-out for the small stuff. Gains under €500 a year are exempt, so casual holders flipping modest amounts won't owe anything.
The bigger story is the scaffolding. Until now, Greece had no single sweeping set of rules covering how crypto profits get taxed — this framework changes that, giving the country one clear rate to point at instead of a patchwork.
For anyone trading crypto while tax-resident in Greece, the math is now simple: gains above that €500 annual threshold get trimmed at 10%.
