Recent reports show that the number of people in Finland reporting crypto trading on their tax returns has almost doubled in one year. The number increased from 8,200 to 16,000, indicating increased awareness and compliance with tax rules for digital assets. Finland Reports Shows Rising Engagement in Crypto Tax Market However, this increase still represents only a small part of Finland’s estimated 300,000 crypto holders, suggesting that many crypto-related activities are not reported. Notably, the report also revealed that taxpayers reported about 230 million euros in capital gains from cryptocurrency trading last year, and 30 million euros in losses. This is a significant increase from two years ago, when total reported crypto income was below 50 million euros. Despite the progress, the low number of cryptocurrency tax filings indicates a huge gap in compliance. Experts believe this might be because individuals are unsure about crypto tax rules and the decentralized nature of digital assets. Meanwhile, the Finnish tax administration has improved its efforts to reduce tax underreporting in recent years. They have introduced better digital tools , run targeted information campaigns, and worked with other countries to monitor cross-border crypto transactions. Finance Ministry Sets Clearer Rules on Crypto Asset Gains Slovenia’s Ministry of Finance recently proposed imposing a 25% tax on crypto profits and derivatives. As detailed, the proposal focuses on taxing profits from the sale or use of digital assets. This includes cases where crypto is converted into fiat currency, used ot buy goods or services, or transferred to another person. Under the new rule, these are all treated as disposals. The proposed law intends to align Slovenia with international tax practices while keeping the paperwork manageable for taxpayers. Importantly, taxpayers must maintain accurate records of their acquisitions and sales. Authorities may ask to see these records at any time. Furthermore, this simplified approach allows taxpayers to calculate their tax based on 40% of the total value of their crypto assets as of December 31, 2025. South Korea Will Commence Crypto Taxation in 2027 Meanwhile, South Korea is still determining whether introducing crypto taxation at this time is the right step. Although it was initially scheduled to commence in January 2025, the South Korea Democratic Party (KDP) has agreed to postpone introducing a crypto gains tax by another two years. This is the third time South Korea has delayed implementing its digital asset capital gains tax. Ultimately, this reflects the ongoing debates and controversy over the timing and impact of taxing cryptocurrency transactions.
