Greece approves 10% tax on crypto gains and 15% levy on DeFi income

Greece’s parliament approved a 10% tax on cryptocurrency gains and a 15% levy on DeFi income, establishing a formal tax framework for digital-asset investors. Taxpayers will have 12 months to declare prior crypto gains without late-filing penalties, though the treatment of crypto-to-crypto swaps remains unresolved. The move matters because it brings Greece’s previously ambiguous crypto tax regime into clearer focus while leaving a key compliance question open for active traders. What to watch next is how Greek authorities define taxable swap events and whether further guidance clarifies reporting for DeFi users and multi-token portfolios.
