According to Bitcoin News, Germany's Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil reportedly stated that the German government plans to tax Bitcoin and crypto assets differently from the current rules. This may include removing the policy that exempts holdings over one year from taxes, and treating them more like stock assets for tax purposes. The proposed changes have sparked criticism from some legal scholars, who argue that imposing stricter tax rules specifically on Bitcoin could violate the equal protection principle in Germany's constitution. Previously, Austria had already removed a similar long-term holding tax exemption. https://(wublock123.com)/news/germany-finance-minister-lars-klingbeil-proposes-crypto-tax-change-remove-bitcoin-1yr-exemption-60665
