How crypto is taxed, country by country.
The rules Taxinger applies where you file, in plain words: what is taxed, when, and on which form.
Where crypto is taxed lightest
Each score is computed from each country’s law as it stood that year: the rate, the holding period, what a swap does, when rewards are taxed. 10 is lightest.

A score, not tax advice: it compares the rate with the highest rate shown here and adds what the law costs you beyond the rate. What you pay also depends on your other income.
