An evolving framework
The lack of concrete rules means treatment depends on each case. The most common interpretation applies 15% on net profit when selling for euros.
Document every purchase and sale: the AADE is receiving more and more data from European platforms.
Information to Tax Authorities
From January 1, 2026, the DAC8 directive will apply across the EU: authorized crypto asset exchanges and providers must report their clients' transactions to tax authorities, and this data will be exchanged between Member States.
Before filing: have your history in order
The first step to a proper tax declaration is to download the complete transaction history from each platform you use. MiCA-licensed exchanges often provide ready-to-use annual reports, which significantly simplifies the filing process.
