Czech Republic exempts crypto users from long-term gains tax
PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech President Petr Pavel has signed a bill exempting cryptocurrency users from paying taxes on long-term gains, a spokesperson from the country's Ministry of Finance told CoinDesk on Thursday.
The legislation, known as the Digitalization of the Financial Markets Act, is now at the final stage of the legislation process and will take a week or two to be officially published.
The principle is if cryptoassets are held for more than three years, their sale will not be taxed, or transactions up to CZK 100,000 ($4,136) per year will not be obliged to report in the tax declaration, similar to securities, the spokesperson said.
The Czech Republic is a member of the European Union (EU).
Last week, a proposal by Czech National Bank Governor Aleš Michl that the central bank consider adding additional assets, like bitcoin, to its reserves was approved by the bank board.
However, the move was quickly shot down by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who said she’s confident bitcoin won't be entering the reserves of any of the EU central banks.
