Greece will implement a 10% tax on crypto profits and a 15% tax on staking income starting in 2027, with a 12-month window for voluntary disclosure of past gains to avoid penalties.
Greece's parliament passed a 10% tax on crypto gains effective Jan. 1, 2027, plus a 15% tax on staking and lending income, which raises the cost of holding and using crypto for Greek investors. However, the effect on global crypto prices is diluted by the small size of the market affected and the distant start date over a year away.
The 10% tax on crypto gains takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
No, investors whose annual net gains do not exceed 500 euros (about $560) are exempt.
The Hellenic Parliament has passed legislation imposing a 10% tax on cryptocurrency capital gains, set to take effect on January 1, 2027.

The new tax framework is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.
No, crypto-to-crypto swaps are not taxable, and investors with annual net gains below 500 euros are exempt from the 10% capital gains levy.
