Greece’s parliament approved a 10% tax on cryptocurrency gains, with the levy scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2027. Investors with annual net gains of no more than 500 euros are exempt.
The law also sets a 15% tax on income from staking, crypto lending and providing liquidity to decentralized protocols, according to local financial publication Oikonomikos Tachydromos. The report says using crypto to buy goods or services may trigger capital gains tax, while swapping one crypto asset for another does not.
Investors will have 12 months to voluntarily declare previously unreported crypto gains. They must pay the resulting tax within 60 days of filing to avoid penalties and interest.
