How Albania taxes crypto
Albania generally treats cryptocurrency profits for individuals as taxable gains subject to a 15% rate under current reference guidance used by this app. In this simplified comparison model, there is no reduced long-term rate or holding-period exemption, so short-term and long-term gains are shown at the same 15% rate. Selling crypto for fiat, exchanging crypto-assets, mining proceeds, or other profit-generating crypto activity may create taxable income depending on the exact facts. Users should keep records of purchase cost, sale value, fees, and dates, because reporting and practical treatment can depend on current Albanian tax guidance and the nature of the activity.
The same rate applies however long you held.

This is the arithmetic the app runs on your device. Real liability depends on your residency, income, allowances and how the authority classifies your activity. Treat it as an estimate and check with a qualified adviser before you act.
