๐ฅHere are discussions about how crypto is taxed in France.
๐ฒ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฑ:
In France, cryptocurrencies are considered assets, and any gains made from trading or selling crypto are subject to capital gains tax.
Short-term capital gains (gains made from assets held for less than one year) are taxed at a flat rate of 30%, which includes 12.8% income tax and 17.2% social contributions.
Long-term holdings may still be taxed at the same flat rate if the sale is not considered a professional activity.
๐๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฑ:
If you are a professional trader or if your crypto activity constitutes a business (e.g., you earn income through mining, staking, or providing crypto services), you may be subject to income tax.
This means that profits derived from your crypto activities are taxed at the standard income tax rates, which range from 0% to 45%, depending on your income level.
๐๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ :
Crypto mining is considered a professional activity in France, and the resulting income is taxed as business income. Therefore, the tax rates for mining are more aligned with business taxation, which could mean paying higher taxes than the standard capital gains rate.
๐ซ๐๐๐ (๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐-๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฑ):
Cryptocurrencies are exempt from VAT in France. This means you do not pay VAT when buying or selling cryptocurrencies or when exchanging them for goods or services.
๐๐๐ญ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฌ:
Staking rewards and airdrops are treated as income, and they are subject to the same tax rates as other forms of income. The rewards are taxed at 30% if they are received by individuals who are not considered professionals.
