Where are we today: cryptocurrencies and Italy under Meloni
As of 2023, with the government led by Giorgia Meloni, cryptocurrencies in Italy are no longer 'tax-free'. Capital gains on crypto > €2,000 are subject to a tax of 26%, just like other financial instruments.
Recently — during discussions on the 2025 budget law — a strong turn had been proposed: an increase in taxation on crypto capital gains to 42%.
In response to sector protests, the proposal has been partially reduced: a moderate increase has been discussed — a hypothesis of 28% instead of 42%.
