Currently gains on crypto profits are going untaxed and unrecognized by the Greek government - but not for long as regulators are seeking new taxes on the industry early next year.
According to local reports, the Greek government is planning to introduce a tax framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets, which it currently does not recognize.
On July 15, the Greek daily paper Ekathimerini reported that by September, a special committee will present its findings on cryptocurrencies and digital assets to the Ministry of National Economy and Finance.
A solution to deal with crypto will be proposed and by January 2025, it is anticipated that cryptocurrencies will be included in taxation. The paper said that profits from crypto and digital asset trades would be taxed as capital gains from the sale of securities at a 15% rate.
