Guides
- Crypto Tax in Australia: CGT, Records, and the ATO
In Australia the Australian Taxation Office treats a crypto asset as a capital gains tax asset, so disposing of it by selling, swapping, or spending it is a CGT event, while tokens you receive from activities such as staking are treated as income when you receive them.
- Crypto Tax in Germany: The One-Year Rule and Everything Around It
Germany taxes privately held crypto as a private sale transaction under section 23 of the Einkommensteuergesetz, which means a gain is taxable only where less than one year passed between acquisition and disposal, and even then stays free of tax if your total private sale gains for the calendar year came to less than 1,000 euros.
- Crypto Tax in the United Kingdom: Capital Gains, Income, and Reporting
In the United Kingdom you pay Capital Gains Tax when you dispose of cryptoassets by selling them, exchanging them for a different cryptoasset, spending them, or giving them away, and you pay Income Tax on tokens you receive from activities such as staking, with gains above the annual tax-free allowance reported through Self Assessment.
