How Czechia taxes crypto
Czechia has become significantly more favorable for individual crypto investors under updated rules effective from 2025 onward. For individuals, gains from selling crypto-assets can be exempt from tax if the asset was held for more than 3 years, aligning crypto more closely with the tax treatment of certain securities. There is also a small-sale exemption for annual disposals up to CZK 100,000. If an exemption does not apply, gains are generally taxed under personal income tax rules, with a standard rate of 15% and a higher 23% rate applying to the portion of income above the high-income threshold. Because the final liability depends on total annual taxable income and the exact character of the activity, this app uses 23% as a conservative reference rate for taxable short-term gains.
The long-term rate applies once you have held for more than 36 months.
A 10,000 CZK gain, settled
| Held | Rate | Taken | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term | 23% | 2,300 | 7,700 |
| Long-term | — | — | 10,000 |
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.
