Conseil d’Etat Changes Tax Rate to Flat 19%

The Conseil d’Etat, or Council of State in France has reduced taxes on cryptocurrency sales from 45% to a flat 19%. The Council stated that this was done because of the new classification of cryptocurrencies. Now, the sale of Bitcoin falls under the principle from the classification of capital gains of movable property.

According to the Council of State, the exception to this rule will be on earnings on cryptocurrency mining. These earnings will be taxed as non-commercial profits as well as income due to professional activity and will be taxed as industrial as well as commercial profits.
