Greece cryptocurrency tax guide

What this guide covers

This guide documents Greece's crypto tax position for 2025, which remains a reported government proposal rather than enacted law. aade.gr wasn't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax advice.

Tax treatment of cryptocurrency

Greece doesn't yet have an enacted crypto tax law, only a reported proposal. Greece doesn't have a comprehensive legal framework for taxing cryptocurrencies, and the European Union has no unified crypto taxation system member states must follow. A June 2026 Reuters report, citing two government officials, states Greece is preparing legislation for a 15% tax on crypto gains, expected to go to parliament 'in coming months' — but as of this review, no source confirmed the bill had been submitted or enacted. This guide treats the 15% figure as a reported proposal, not current law.

Common taxable events

• This guide doesn't identify a confirmed, enacted taxable crypto event under current Greek law.

Potentially non-taxable events

• This guide doesn't assert that crypto gains are affirmatively tax-exempt in Greece. The absence of dedicated legislation doesn't necessarily mean general tax rules couldn't apply in some way this guide hasn't independently verified.

Tax rates and thresholds

No confirmed, enacted crypto-specific rate exists. The reported proposal describes a 15% rate on net gains, after trading fees, once converted to fiat or spent, with a reported €500 annual exemption and no tax on individual, non-corporate mining — but none of this is confirmed as enacted.

Cost basis and calculation

This doesn't apply in the absence of enacted legislation.

Reporting and compliance

• This guide doesn't identify a confirmed individual reporting obligation specific to crypto under current Greek law.

Residency and cross-border issues

Not resolved in this pass, given the absence of enacted legislation.

Example

This guide omits a worked tax example, consistent with the directive's instruction to use a qualitative explanation rather than a fabricated calculation where the legal position doesn't support one.

Limitations and review information

Tax year covered: 2025. Last verified: October 28, 2026 (citation-integrity pass; the underlying facts are unchanged, but the citation now links to the real Reuters/Kitco wire story and a secondary summary for the exemption figure, instead of the unfetched AADE homepage). Known limitation: aade.gr wasn't directly fetched, and no enacted crypto tax law exists in Greece as of this review. The 15% rate comes from a press report of officials' statements; the €500 exemption and mining carve-out come only from a secondary summary of that report, not the report itself. This guide should be re-verified promptly once a bill is submitted or enacted. This is educational information only, not individualized tax advice.
