How Cyprus taxes crypto
Cyprus introduced a dedicated crypto tax regime effective from 1 January 2026, applying an 8% flat tax on profits from the disposal of crypto-assets. Under this simplified model, gains from selling, exchanging, or otherwise disposing of crypto are treated at the same 8% rate regardless of holding period. The exact tax outcome can still depend on residency, whether the activity is personal investment or business trading, and how specific transactions are characterized under the final legal framework. For standard individual investor comparison in this app, Cyprus is shown with a flat 8% rate for both short-term and long-term gains.
The same rate applies however long you held.
A 10,000 EUR gain, settled
| Held | Rate | Taken | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term | 8% | 800 | 9,200 |
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.
