Greek Parliament Approves Tax Framework for Crypto Asset Gains at 10%

TechFlow reported on November 6 that, according to The Defiant, the Greek Parliament passed a crypto asset tax framework on November 5, imposing a 10% tax on individual capital gains, with annual net gains of no more than 500 euros exempt from tax. The Parliament's scientific services department said the new capital gains provisions will take effect on January 1, 2027.

The report said the scope includes selling crypto assets, using crypto assets to purchase goods or services, and contributing them as corporate capital. The Greek Ministry of Finance said proceeds from lending, providing liquidity, and staking will be taxed as interest at a 15% rate.

The bill is still pending publication in the government gazette. The Ministry of Finance said exchanges between crypto assets do not generate taxable gains, but the Parliament's scientific services department noted that the bill's broader wording on disposals for consideration may cover such exchanges and recommended an explicit exclusion.
