The German Ministry of Finance is set to revise its tax policies for cryptocurrency investors, proposing to tax profits from the sale of Bitcoin and other digital assets without regard to the holding period. Currently, gains from sales after a year of ownership are tax-exempt. Under the new regulations, which would take effect for assets purchased from January 1, 2027, onward, these sales would be subject to taxation. Existing rules will still apply to assets acquired before this date. Additionally, starting in 2028, cryptocurrency platforms will be required to withhold taxes on transactions. The proposed legislation is currently under internal review by the government.
