No tax changes for crypto profits: New coalition agreement between SPD, CDU and CSU confirms one-year stopping period
coalition agreement: no tax changes for Bitcoin and crypto profits
The coalition agreement between the SPD, CDU and CSU published today ensures clarity in relation to the taxation of cryptocurrencies in Germany. One of the most important information from the contract is that no changes to Bitcoin and crypto gains are provided. Specifically, this means that the existing one -year stopping period for the tax liberation of profits from the sale of cryptocurrencies continues to exist.
The one -year stopping period states that profits result from the sale of cryptocurrencies and which are realized one year after their acquisition are tax -free. This regulation therefore remains untouched and gives investors from Bitcoin and Co. planning security. This could be a positive message in particular for long-term investors, as it enables them to keep their crypto investments without concern for increased tax burdens.
Overall, the coalition's decision shows that a certain scope is retained when regulating cryptocurrencies in order not to counteract the digital market. Investors and interested parties may be excited to see how the legal framework will develop in the future. It remains to be seen whether further regulations or adjustments are initiated in the area of digital currencies.
