2. The German tax treatment of cryptocurrency is complex and potentially subject to change. Therefore, individuals should take their own personal tax advice as required.

3. There are presently no specific tax rules in German tax law with regard to cryptocurrencies. The German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) published a draft circular on 17th June 2021 on direct tax implications of virtual cryptocurrencies and tokens. However, this BMF Draft Circular is still in draft form and may be subject to significant changes. The information provided to you is based on general German tax principles in force as at 30 December 2021 as well as the BMF Draft Circular.

4. This information is provided on the basis that the Services provided are intended exclusively for individuals who are not trading in crypto assets as a commercial activity. The German tax authorities determine whether crypto activities amount to business activities based on a number of factors and individual circumstances. We recommend that the individual consults a tax advisor in this regard if necessary.
