Greece approves a 10% crypto-gains tax; implementation guidance is still to come

Greece's parliament approved a bill imposing a 10% tax on cryptocurrency capital gains on 5 November, Reuters reported. Annual gains of up to €500 are exempt under the bill.

A senior finance-ministry official told Reuters that further directives would follow in the coming weeks, including transparency and audit rules. The vote establishes a tax framework, but that report does not settle every calculation, filing deadline or individual circumstance.

The official said expected revenue could not yet be estimated because many investors use overseas platforms, making the domestic market difficult to measure. A rate can be fixed before the tax authority knows how much activity it will cover.

Other coverage discusses staking income, swaps and a 2027 start date. This short report confines itself to the parliamentary vote, headline rate and exemption supported by the Reuters dispatch; it does not treat earlier consultation details as a complete final filing guide.
