Cryptocurrency taxation in Italy is an ever-evolving topic, but I can give you an overview and some of the latest news.
Current taxation:
* Capital Gains: Capital gains made from the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies are subject to a 26% tax if they exceed 2,000 euros per year. They are considered "other income" and must be declared in the PF Income model.
* Stamp Duty: Cryptocurrencies held with Italian intermediaries are subject to a stamp duty of 0.2%.
* IVAFE: If you exceed the threshold of 2,000 euros in capital gains, you must also complete the RW table and pay the tax on the value of financial assets (IVAFE).
Latest news:
* Effective rate: There has been some discussion about the effective rate applicable to capital gains from cryptocurrencies. Although the law provides for 26%, some interpretations suggested a lower rate. However, the Revenue Agency has clarified that the rate of 26% applies.
* Changes Ahead: The cryptocurrency regulatory landscape is constantly evolving. It is possible that new rules or changes to existing ones will be introduced in the future.
What to keep in mind:
* Income Tax Return: It is essential to declare all income from cryptocurrencies in the PF Income Form.
* Record keeping: Keep track of all cryptocurrency transactions, as they may be required by the Revenue Agency in the event of an audit.
* Professional advice: For optimal management of your tax situation, I recommend that you contact a professional in the sector.
