Crypto tax in Finland 2026
Finland taxes crypto as capital income: gains from selling, swapping or spending coins pay 30% up to €30,000 of total capital income and 34% beyond, computed first-in-first-out.
The presumptive-cost deduction works for crypto too — deduct a deemed 20% of the sale price (40% after 10 years) when records are poor or coins are ancient.
Small years stay simple: total disposals under €1,000 are entirely tax-free.
