Germany’s draft plan would tax long-held crypto bought from 2027
Germany’s draft tax plan would end the one-year exemption for crypto bought from Jan. 1, 2027. Gains on those purchases would be taxed even if the assets are held long term, replacing the current treatment with the standard investment-tax model.
The proposed charge is 25% plus the solidarity surcharge, bringing the total to 26.37%. Crypto purchased before 2027 would keep its grandfathered treatment under the draft.
