German Bundestag debates scrapping one-year crypto tax exemption
- —Petition to keep the one-year tax exemption gathered over 44,000 signatures
- —Ministry plans to tax crypto gains at 25% regardless of holding period
- —Grandfathering proposed for crypto bought before 2027
- —Hearing also raised scrapping the one-year exemption for gold
Why it matters: The reform would hit all private crypto investors in Germany and could dampen capital inflows into digital assets.
