Finance Minister Klingbeil hints that the 1-year holding period for Bitcoin and cryptos should be dropped,

so that he can give away and burn even more money. Old-age provision is to be made more difficult. Poverty in old age is encouraged. 11 million people own BTC / cryptos in Germany. SPD = They are plundering Germany .

Austria collected exactly EUR 33.84 million in 2024 as a result of the abolition of the one-year holding period and the introduction of the flat-rate crypto tax (27.5% capital gains tax), which corresponds to just 0.57% of total capital gains tax revenue. This means that the actual tax revenue falls massively short of the government's initial expectations, which had originally hoped for new revenue of up to 300 million euros; the hoped-for big windfall for the state budget by putting cryptocurrencies on an equal footing with traditional shares has therefore definitely failed to materialize.

$BTC (+0,14 %)
$ETH (+0,07 %)
$XRP (+0,12 %)
$SOL (+0,25 %)

@Simpson But then also for gold, please.

Homer@Simpson

@ThetaShort well physically the purchases are difficult to prove

•

Techaktien@Techaktien

@Simpson The other way around. Abolish the tax. Precious metals and art also have this tax exemption after 1 year.

@Techaktien the question is how much longer

@Simpson is also very simple. A simple majority to tighten up the Money Laundering Act.😇 Identification from the first euro for transactions outside existing business relationships and then it is very, very easy to do.😊 And that could also be sold in a very positive way.🤷🏼‍♂️ After all, it serves to combat money laundering.😅 The same requirements for secondary market purchases and the bag is finally closed.

@Simpson First time I've ever found a Homer post totally pointless.^^

@Simpson tax could be levied on every sale. Without any problems.

Alfred@Alfred16

@Simpson Wrong way of thinking in my view. There should be no taxes anywhere, after all, they always demand that we should make private provision for our pensions.

When I hear that, my pulse starts racing. One thing is certain, if the SPD strives for justice, one thing will not happen. Justice. But it will be expensive.

Why sugar tax and not sweetener tax? It's also unhealthy. And why a plastic tax? We've already tightened the lid and that should save the world.

Why not a salad tax? Lettuce uses a lot of water. Or a fruit tax. Because fruit trees hurt birds when they fly in front of them. Why not a fat tax. Oh, bad ...

EU needs more revenue for new tasks.

Collecting new taxes = new tasks.

Ergo: EU needs new taxes to collect new taxes.

That's logical! 🫪 What's the problem with that? 🤷

Why should bitcoin profits not be taxed?

•

Techaktien@Techaktien

@lavdim Because the income has already been taxed. See also precious metals and art.

•

Joshua@WarrenNakamoto

@lavdim because taxes are robbery

There's really nothing more you can say about it. But one thing occurs to me: the fat years produce bad people and the bad years produce good people.
I think the fat years are coming to an end soon, the advantage is that we should produce decent and charismatic politicians again in an absolute depression, who will lead the country out of the crisis and give us fat years again.
Right, then we'll be living in complete decadence again and the failures in government will drive the country to the wall again within a decade😆👍

From my point of view, if the government really wanted to help people, it could do a lot of useful things, but raising taxes is just the easiest thing to do.
After all, the sword of Damocles of the VAT increase is still hovering over us, and I think the sugar tax is already a done deal. Everyone should be feeling the effects of the CO2 tax by now, and when the CO2 certificate trade is finally implemented without a government price cap, even the last Green voter should have noticed.

It looks like governments have not really understood capital markets in general and cryptocurrencies in particular.
Taxes only exist when two events coincide: 1. crypto markets rise, 2. people sell their profit positions.

There is nothing to be gained in crypto winter. Worse still, the losses from crypto can finally be offset against gains elsewhere, so that tax revenues actually fall. 😅

They are so stupid. 🫣

The government is at the end of its rope and wants to make as much cash as possible before it steps down
