Greece’s Crypto Tax Framework: 12-Month Reporting Window Established, Eligible Taxpayers May Avoid Late-Filing Penalties and Interest
The crypto-asset tax framework passed by the Greek Parliament gives investors a 12-month window to report historical crypto gains. Eligible taxpayers may avoid late-filing penalties and interest, but must pay the tax within 60 days of filing. Investors with annual crypto-asset losses exceeding €500 may carry them forward for five years to offset future crypto-asset gains. The framework imposes a 10% tax on individuals’ crypto-asset capital gains, while returns from staking, crypto lending, and DeFi liquidity are taxed at 15% as interest income.
