Italy Considers Softer Italy Crypto Tax Hike at 28%
Italy is considering revising the proposed crypto tax increase to 42% and is considered to move to a level of 28%. The suggested change comes after discussions in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s coalition over the need for a balance between regulation and the need to support the digital asset ecosystem. Currently, Italy taxes crypto gains above €2,000 at the rate of 26%. With that said, the new rate should, in fact, help bring Italy closer to broader European norms regarding digital assets.
Apart from the rate adjustment, a proposal by The League, a powerful coalition partner, includes the establishment of a standing working group dealing with crypto education, which would include crypto companies and consumer organizations that would give guidance for investors. Forza Italia is advocating for the total cancellation of the increase, but it will be up for review and amendment by lawmakers before approval, according to The Block.
