German MP: Coalition Deal Does Not Guarantee One-Year Crypto Holding Period
- —Ehm: coalition agreement has no 'concrete undertaking' to keep the one-year holding period
- —Finance Ministry draft introduces a flat 25% tax on crypto gains regardless of holding time
- —New rules take effect from the 2027 assessment period; automatic withholding from 2028
- —Purchases after Dec. 31, 2026 fall under the new regime; the old rule still applies until then
Why it matters: German investors have less than four months to place purchases under the old tax-free holding rule.
