Greece’s finance ministry has opened a public consultation on a proposed crypto asset tax bill, according to Techub News. Under the draft, personal capital gains from selling crypto assets would be taxed at 10%, while annual gains of up to 500 euros would be exempt. The proposal also states that crypto-to-crypto exchanges would not trigger capital gains tax for now. The bill separately covers income from staking, lending, and providing liquidity. Those proceeds would be taxed at 10% as interest income under the draft framework. In addition, investors would be allowed to voluntarily declare gains from previous crypto transactions within 12 months after the law is published. Those who meet the conditions could receive relief from fines and interest. The update concerns a consultation process and does not state that the bill has already taken effect. The item was cited by Techub News, with Wu Says Blockchain named in the source note.
