Bitcoin (BTC) Tax Guide
How Bitcoin is taxed in Europe: buying, selling, trading, mining and capital gains.
How is Bitcoin taxed?
Bitcoin (BTC) is subject to the same tax rules as all cryptocurrencies. Every sale of BTC for fiat currency generates a taxable capital gain or loss. The tax rate and calculation method depend on your country of residence: 30% flat tax in France, 14-45% in Germany, 33% in Italy.
Capital gains and long-term holding
In some countries like Germany, holding your Bitcoin for more than 12 months exempts you from capital gains tax. In France, there is no holding period exemption, but a EUR 305 allowance applies. Taxes Crypto automatically handles these country-specific rules.
Mining and Bitcoin rewards
Bitcoin mining income is generally taxable as income at the time of receipt. The euro value at the time of mining is the taxable income. Taxes Crypto identifies these transactions and processes them correctly.
