Greece approves a new tax framework for cryptocurrency income, including a 10% levy on crypto gains and separate rules for staking and decentralised finance (DeFi). The measures include a €500 annual threshold that exempts smaller net gains from the gains tax, and they apply from 2027, according to the coverage.
The outlets also highlight that the law addresses how some types of crypto-related income are treated differently, with a reported 15% tax on staking and DeFi income. CoinDesk adds that investors are given a 12-month window to declare past crypto gains without late-filing penalties.
While the core elements largely align across reports—rates, the threshold, and the start date—sources note remaining uncertainties. Decrypt and CoinDesk both point to unresolved questions about how token swaps, particularly crypto-to-crypto transactions, should be taxed under the new framework.
