Holding bitcoin for three years and permanently escaping capital gains tax? This scenario, once unimaginable, is becoming a reality in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Parliament has passed a historic law that will exempt bitcoin gains from taxation after three years of holding. However, this exemption is only applicable to non-commercial assets and has an annual sales limit of 100,000 Czech crowns.
The law aims to make the Czech Republic a crypto hub in Central Europe, especially considering Germany's existing law that exempts cryptos after one year of holding.
Despite the clear intention, the law lacks specific guidelines on how to prove the Bitcoins' holding period, and the tax authorities will rely on general principles. Additionally, the definition of digital assets is broad, covering Bitcoin and other cryptos but not specifying NFTs or utility tokens, which could lead to varying interpretations.
This measure applies to assets purchased after 2024 and sold after 2025. For example, a Bitcoin purchased in 2023 will only be exempt from taxes in 2026.
