[German Government Plans to Impose 25% Capital Gains Tax on Cryptocurrency Profits] BlockBeats News, September 9, according to German tech media Golem, the German federal government plans to impose a 25% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency profits. A draft government bill reveals that the German Federal Ministry of Finance has prepared relevant legislation to include cryptocurrency profits within the scope of capital gains taxation. According to the draft, starting from 2028, speculative profits generated from digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum will be taxed at a rate of 25%. This rate is the same as the current tax rate applied to stock trading profits. The so-called "crypto tax" would signify a major shift in Germany's cryptocurrency tax policy: currently, profits generated from holding cryptocurrencies for more than one year are tax-exempt. The personal tax-free allowance is expected to remain, similar to existing regulations. Currently, the tax-free threshold per person is €1,000. [Original Link]
