Check what an "Veräußerung" is. That's the taxable event in Germany
so if i buy a coin and sell it and then buy another one and hodl, on which do i pay taxes, first one only right ? unless i sell second one too ?
and i think every trade is taxable, as long as it was in profit ?
Exactly. Or you just wait 365days between buy and sell and you are tax free. I recommend you to install "Cointracking" to keep your taxes right
thanks a lot will give it a shot ? any recommendations on helping with tax returns ? i will have to report this year i believe
Software Cointracking. Very used on Germany and overall one of the best out there. They have even a Telegram group and peeps are helpful there
Koinly works great for me
cool thanks a lot
I downloaded it last year to make the tax report for 2020 and previous years. It's a bit tricky at the start, a bit overwhelming I would say but at some point it's easy. Good thing is it keeps track of your gains and losses very well too. 😊
awesome, do you know what happens in case of things like airdrops OR rewards that you earn from lets say cardano staking ? .. same rule applies ? if u sell after one year then no tax ?
but only when you sell them ?
Nop. At the moment of reception. That's why free coins could be risky. Imagine you get 1000 Coins for free (staking or airdrop), total price at reception is 1000USD. Imagine your tax rate is 30% (up to 45% in Germany depending on income). So you owe already 300USD to the to the tax admin. Imagine you don't sell and 6 month later the price of that coins dropped 80% 😖. Well you owe still 300USD but your coins are worth now 200. Yup, that's how it works. Possible solution is to sell that 30% at the moment of reception and you have the cash ready for the taxes.
yeah makes sense, thanks :)
or move to portugal :D
True 😅 But we can't complain on Germany. I just learned to make looking trades/holds
atleast it is free after one year, worse is USA i guess
Worse is the whole world appart from a few countries. At least Germany rewards holders
true , even India is acting like bunch of morons now
Yeah, every country wants its cut. Depends on how in dept they are and how much they like crypto (or feel threatened by it) they are taxing more or less
