Portugal Plans to Impose 28% Capital Gains Tax on Crypto

Portugal is often referred to in the media as a European tax haven, especially when it comes to crypto. Be that as it may, it looks like that portion of Portugal’s reputation is coming to a close.

The claim was confirmed by lawyers working on the new legal framework, who opposed the popular belief that Portugal held a business-friendly attitude towards crypto on purpose. “It is an area in which there is a lot more knowledge and a lot more progress, so that Portugal can learn from international experience”, explained Medina, the Minister of Finance.

In the midst of the crypto market faltering of late, it is only to be expected that more countries would draw up regulations for the historically volatile crypto sector.
