Denmark to Introduce Bill to Tax Unrealized Crypto Gains
The Tax Law Denmark has put forward a bill that might require Danish crypto investors to pay taxes on unrealized gains and losses from crypto assets, potentially starting in 2026.
In a detailed 93-page report on taxing crypto assets, the Council proposed a unified set of regulations for all crypto assets to be subject to taxation.
They explored three possible models for taxing crypto assets in Denmark: capital gains tax, warehouse taxation, and inventory taxation.
Danish Tax Minister Rasmus Stoklund pointed out instances where Danish crypto investors were unfairly taxed under the current capital gains tax rules.
He advocated for new tax laws that would simplify the taxation of crypto assets. It’s worth noting that these recommendations do not guarantee immediate implementation.
However, some people on social media misunderstood the report and assumed that the proposed tax changes were definite.
