Greece is preparing a draft law that would tax individual crypto capital gains at 10%, with a reported €500 annual exemption. The proposed rate has been described as lower than rates in several neighboring European countries, but the proposal remains subject to public consultation.

The draft could reach Parliament as early as November. For traders, the exemption and any rules on taxable events could still change before enactment.

A Lower Proposed Rate, Unsettled Key Detail

The proposal concerns individuals’ cryptocurrency capital gains. A 10% rate and a €500 annual exemption, so that gains up to that threshold would be exempt under the draft. Neither figure should be treated as final while the bill remains open to consultation and revision.
