If I am mistaken, the first country in the EU to pass such a law was Germany, where that period is 1 year, in Croatia it is twice as long and amounts to 2 years - while there was a lot of talk about how Portugal and Slovenia are very friendly when it comes to laws on taxation of cryptocurrencies, but I am not sure if that is still the case.
...
Yes 1 year in Germany but this law doesn't revere directly to bitcoin. This is called a "privates Veräußerungsgeschäft" (private sale transaction) and applies also for gold and other stuff.
...we (US) pay tax on offshore income (only 2 countries do this), we pay tax on UNLIMITED term duration holdings (and this tax on cap gains is NOT inflation-adjusted re proceeds) and we have a pitiful $3000 allowance for cap loss per year. So, if you lost 100K in cap loss, good luck to get it back...in 33 years (if no cap gains occur).
Not a great picture.
you manage it as best you can. I am sitting on a 52k carryover loss so I can cash a lot of corn this year.
tax free.
