Greece approves 10% tax on crypto gains starting in 2027

Greece’s parliament approved legislation imposing a 10% tax on cryptocurrency gains, establishing new rules for investors as the country prepares to introduce the levy in 2027.

The Hellenic Parliament passed the tax measures Thursday as part of a broader bill covering loan oversight, debt protections and financial market regulation.

The bill introduces a 10% tax on profits from crypto asset sales but exempts investors whose annual gains do not exceed 500 euros ($560), local financial publication Oikonomikos Tachydromos reported Friday. The new framework is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

The legislation also imposes a 15% tax on income from staking, crypto lending and providing liquidity to decentralized protocols.
