That quote is a simplified of the rules. How your state regulate it?Profit is calculated as:
- Yes, it is taxed when you sell it and for the amount you turned a profit for.
- Yes, profits are taxed as capital gains (luovutusvoitto).
Alternatively, you can always declare profit as 80% of selling price, or 60% if you have held the coins for more than 10 years (hankintameno-olettama).selling price - buying price - commission for selling - commission for buying
Minor profits are tax-free. Specifically, whenever the total sum of all your sell transactions in whatever assets taxable under the capital gains tax (meaning stocks, crypto, fund holdings, real estate investments etc.) within a single calendar year is less than 1,000€, any profits for that year are tax-free.
Important things to note:
- Losses from cryptocurrencies are not deductible.
- Finnish tax authority considers any transaction with crypto currency to realize the capital gains tax. So if you for example use the crypto to buy stuff online you should each time consider it as a taxable transaction. For blockchain transaction the selling price is the market value of the coins you paid in euros at the time of the transaction. These add to the 1,000€ of tax-free quota mentioned above, meaning if you transact more than 1,000€ worth of crypto a year you should declare it.
