Greece proposes 10% tax on crypto capital gains, with carve-outs for small profits and token swaps

Greece’s Ministry of National Economy and Finance has published a draft bill that would introduce a 10% tax on individuals’ cryptocurrency capital gains, while exempting annual gains of up to 500 euros. The proposal also excludes crypto-to-crypto swaps from capital gains tax and applies a flat 10% rate to income from staking, lending and liquidity provision. The draft would also open a 12-month window after the law is published for individuals to voluntarily declare previously realized crypto gains without penalties. The ministry said the measure is intended to close a legislative gap in Greece’s tax treatment of digital assets. Public consultation on the bill runs through Oct. 22, and the ministry is targeting a parliamentary vote in the first week of November. The proposal comes as European countries continue to formalize crypto tax rules and as EU member states, including Greece, move to implement DAC8, which expands automatic tax information sharing to crypto transactions. Under DAC8, crypto service providers must begin collecting EU user transaction data from Jan. 1, 2026, with first cross-border exchanges of 2026 activity due by Sept. 30, 2027.

Greece opens consultation on crypto tax bill with 10% levy on personal capital gains

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.

Greece moves to tax crypto capital gains at 10%

Greece is preparing legislation that would impose a 10% tax on cryptocurrency capital gains, according to a draft bill released on Thursday local time. The proposal has now entered a public consultation phase and is expected to be submitted to parliament in November for review. Under the draft, individual investors would receive an annual tax exemption on the first 500 euros of crypto capital gains, equivalent to about $559.95. Any gains above that threshold would fall under the proposed 10% rate. The measure comes as Greece still lacks a comprehensive legal framework specifically governing crypto taxation. Officials said it remains difficult to estimate the size of the country’s cryptocurrency market because the vast majority of investors use offshore trading platforms. As a result, the government has not issued a concrete forecast for how much revenue the proposed tax could generate.

FinTax says it raised funding from Yzi Labs and is shifting toward enterprise and government clients

Crypto tax and compliance platform FinTax has received an investment from Yzi Labs, according to founder Calix, who disclosed the funding during a podcast appearance. He said the company is shifting its business focus toward enterprise and government clients, describing those groups as facing more urgent compliance needs as crypto activity continues to move faster than legal and regulatory frameworks. Calix said companies operating in crypto often run into compliance challenges because regulation has not kept pace with the sector’s development. On cross-border tax oversight, he described the crypto-asset tax information exchange framework as similar to a crypto version of the Common Reporting Standard, or CRS. In his account, the framework is currently aimed mainly at collecting and exchanging cross-border tax information, while actual taxation still depends on local tax rules in each jurisdiction. He also said crypto tax regulation remains at an early stage because the framework covers only limited scenarios and still leaves out many areas, including DeFi. As a result, Calix said room for regulatory arbitrage is likely to remain for a long time. Discussing Web3 company IPOs, he used crypto payment firms as an example and outlined FinTax’s offerings, including financial and tax advisory services, ERP systems that work with both crypto and fiat, and audit platforms for handling complex cross-border finance, tax, and audit issues.

FinTax outlines post-YZi Labs plan, with focus on government and enterprise crypto tax compliance

FinTax founder Calix said the crypto tax and accounting startup will keep building infrastructure for enterprise and government clients after receiving investment from YZi Labs, while preparing a new $10 million fundraising round. In a WuBlockchain podcast, Calix described fragmented global rules, overlapping oversight and regulatory gaps as the biggest compliance problem facing crypto businesses today. He said FinTax originally started with a consumer tax filing product, but later shifted toward business clients and then government work because large institutions face the earliest and strongest compliance pressure and have clearer willingness to pay. The discussion also covered the crypto asset tax information exchange framework, which Calix compared to a crypto version of the Common Reporting Standard, or CRS. He argued that the framework is still at an early stage, mainly covering centralized exchanges, centralized platforms and payment companies, while many DeFi scenarios remain outside the net. In his view, tax-related regulatory arbitrage in crypto will not disappear quickly. Calix also discussed how FinTax works with Web3 companies preparing for IPOs, the growing overlap between crypto exchanges and traditional brokerages, the company’s early team collapse in 2023, the role of its TaxDAO community in talent development, and how its first $150,000 service order helped sustain the business before later fundraising rounds.

French assembly finance committee clears three crypto amendments in budget review

France’s National Assembly finance committee has approved three cryptocurrency-related amendments during its review of the 2027 budget bill, while one proposal has been rejected and several others remain under discussion. According to Odaily, the committee put forward 10 crypto amendments and has been reviewing them since Oct. 7. So far, measures that would tax stablecoin exchange transactions, impose a crypto exit tax, and allow crypto asset losses to be carried forward for 10 years have passed at the committee stage. A separate proposal to extend the personal wealth tax to crypto assets was voted down. Other measures tied to self-custody wallet reporting requirements and platform penalties are still being examined. None of the amendments has formally become law at this stage, and all still require further review before they can take effect.

France Advances Three Crypto Tax Amendments in Review of 2027 Budget Bill

France’s 2027 finance bill was submitted to the National Assembly on Oct. 1, and the finance committee began voting on 10 cryptocurrency-related amendments on Oct. 7, according to Journal du Coin. As of Oct. 8, three amendments had passed: stablecoin conversions would become taxable events starting Jan. 1, 2027; crypto holdings above €800,000 would fall under an exit tax; and crypto losses could be carried forward for 10 years. A proposal to extend the personal wealth tax to crypto assets was rejected. A separate tax-cut amendment filed by Paul Midy was ruled inadmissible under Article 40 of the French Constitution, which bars measures that reduce public revenue. Separately, the EU’s DAC8 directive has already required platforms to collect user identity and transaction data since Jan. 1, 2026, with a first filing to tax authorities due by June 15, 2027, without requiring a parliamentary vote. Another proposal would require disclosure of self-custodied wallets valued above €100,000, with fines of up to €10,000 for non-compliance. The amendments are not yet law. A full session review is scheduled for Oct. 13 to 19, with a final vote set for Nov. 17.
