You invest in cryptocurrencies as a hobby or a test investment, then your investments are exempt from taxation. However, the conditions are that you take few risks and you make long-term investments (we’re talking about several years).
You take risks with your investments in cryptocurrency and you buy and sell them regularly with the aim of making a short-term profit. You must declare your profits from buying and selling cryptocurrency in your tax return as diverse income and it will be subject to 33% tax.
Trading cryptocurrency is your main job. You must then apply the rules that apply to all self-employed people: you must declare your cryptocurrency income in your tax return and your net annual income will be subject to progressive income tax (between 25 and 50%).

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful…my accountant and tax advisor are good, but never so comprehensive and accurate. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable
