Before you calculate

Article 20E took effect on 1 January 2026. Disposals before that date fall under the prior regime. The calculator applies the 8% rate to post-2026 disposals only. Losses offset gains within the same tax year only — unused losses are lost permanently, with no carry-forward and no group relief.

How to use each mode

Mode 1 — Single disposal. Enter the sale proceeds, your acquisition cost, exchange fees, gas fees and any other allowable expenses. The calculator returns the net gain, the 8% tax, and the effective rate as a percentage of proceeds. Use this for a one-off sale — a single Bitcoin cashed out, or a token swapped for another where you know the euro values.

Mode 2 — Full tax year. Enter every disposal for the tax year. The calculator nets gains against losses within the year only, then applies 8% to the net gain. If your losses exceed your gains, the unused losses are displayed explicitly with a warning that they cannot be carried forward. Click "Import CSV" to upload your exchange export instead of typing each row — the importer maps common column names automatically.

Mode 3 — Mining and staking. The two-moment calculation. First, enter each reward event with the date and the euro value on the day it landed in your wallet — this is ordinary income at receipt, taxed at progressive rates up to 35% for individuals or 15% CIT for companies. Then enter the disposal of those tokens, with the cost basis set to the receipt value. The calculator returns the income tax, the 8% disposal tax, and the combined effective rate on the position.

Common mistakes

Seven errors that cost real money

1
Assuming crypto gains are 0%
From 1 January 2026, crypto disposal profits are taxed at 8% under Article 20E. The old position that crypto gains were untaxed is no longer correct.
2
Offsetting crypto losses against other income
Losses on crypto disposals can be set off ONLY against profits from crypto disposals, and ONLY within the same tax year. No carry-forward, no group relief.
3
Treating mining as 8%
Mining rewards are ordinary income at receipt (up to 35% for individuals, 15% CIT for companies). Article 20E applies only when you later sell the mined coins.
4
Assuming non-dom exempts crypto gains
Article 20E is income tax and applies regardless of domicile. Non-dom exempts SDC on dividends and passive income only — not the 8% crypto disposal charge.
5
Missing crypto-to-crypto swaps
Exchanging one token for another is a disposal under Article 20E. Both sides are valued at fair market value on the transaction date.
6
Not tracking staking cost basis
Every staking reward is income at the euro value on the day received. That same value becomes your cost basis for the 8% disposal calculation later. Two records per event.
7
Assuming CGT applies to crypto
Cyprus CGT applies only to immovable property and shares in property-owning companies. Crypto is entirely outside the CGT regime — it sits under Article 20E of the Income Tax Law.

The loss rule in practice

Article 20E overrides the general loss rules in Article 13 for crypto disposals. Losses can be set off only against profits from crypto disposals, only within the same tax year. They cannot be carried forward to next year. They cannot be surrendered as group relief to another company in your group. They cannot offset against salary, dividend, rental, or any other income source.

This is why Mode 2 of the calculator shows unused losses in red with an explicit warning. If you have €60,000 of gains in 2026 and €40,000 of losses in 2027, you pay 8% on the full €60,000 — the €40,000 loss vanishes at the end of 2027. Year-end loss harvesting before 31 December is the only way to preserve offset value. The calculator makes the consequence visible before you file.

No carry-forward
Crypto losses are lost at year-end if they exceed gains

Crypto positions are easy to get wrong and expensive to fix

Record-keeping that survives a Tax Department review

The Tax Department reviews crypto returns by asking for transaction-level records. For disposals, they want the sale date, the euro value at fair market value on that date, the acquisition cost, and evidence of each expense claimed. For mining and staking, they want the receipt date, the euro value on that date, and the wallet or exchange record showing the credit.

CSV exports from Binance, Kraken, Coinbase and other major exchanges are acceptable if they include the transaction date, asset, quantity and euro equivalent. Portfolio tools like CoinTracker, Koinly or Accointing that produce per-event cost-basis reports are worth the subscription cost — manual tracking of daily rebasing liquidity positions is impractical, and a missing cost basis means the Tax Department will treat the entire sale proceeds as gain. The CSV import in Mode 2 accepts these exports directly.
