What has changed

The era of «quiet» crypto is over

From 2026 crypto in Austria can no longer be kept in the shadows — neither by private investors nor by business owners.

The Finanzamt sees everything

Exchanges and platforms automatically report your name, tax number and every transaction to the tax office.

The past matters too

The 2026 data also carries evidentiary weight for 2023–2025. Anything undeclared can trigger a retrospective audit.

The bank blocks your withdrawal

Without a Mittelherkunftsnachweis — proof of the origin of funds — the bank may freeze the account and refuse the transaction.

The window is closing

The first automatic report to the Finanzamt is due on 31.07.2027. You can put things in order now. Later it gets harder and more expensive.

Complexity, made simple

Two dates that decide everything

The tax on your crypto often comes down to one thing — exactly when you bought it.

Altbestand · old
acquired before 01.03.2021
0 €

After one year of holding, the sale is often entirely exempt from tax — provided the acquisition date can be proven.

Neubestand · new
acquired from 01.03.2021
27,5 %

The gain on disposal is taxed at the flat KESt rate, regardless of the holding period.

And crypto-to-crypto swaps?Swapping one crypto asset for another is not taxed. Tax arises only when you exit into euro or pay for goods and services with crypto. The same applies to stablecoins.

Neubestand: 27,5 % is charged on the gain (proceeds minus acquisition cost).

Gain before offset15,000 €
Losses offset0 €
Taxable base15,000 €
Tax at 27,5 %4,125 €

In practice this amount can usually be reduced by a further 15–30 % — that is 619–1,238 € in your case.

We work with this every day: we choose the more favourable accounting method, allocate Altbestand and Neubestand correctly, offset losses from earlier transactions, account for transaction and staking costs and, where the conditions are met, apply the double taxation treaty. Every step is documented and stands up to a Finanzamt audit.

This estimate is indicative and does not constitute tax advice.

We do not help you «escape» the tax office.
We help you let go of the fear of it, for good.

Frequently asked

The essentials, briefly

It is a common situation, and it can be resolved. What matters most is acting before the Finanzamt discovers the data itself. We organise your history, and our partner tax adviser sets out the correct route to legalising the past.
No. Wenexus Consulting GmbH is a business consultancy (§136 GewO): structuring, documentation, coordination. The actual tax work — calculation, return, filing — is carried out by a certified Steuerberater we work with.
This is our speciality. Often there is no clear evidence of the date or the acquisition cost — and then the tax office may apply the worst-case scenario. We reconstruct the transaction history from exchanges and wallets so that you do not overpay.
Yes — under the 2026 rules, swapping one cryptocurrency for another (and for stablecoins) is tax-neutral. Tax arises only when you exit into euro or pay with crypto. That leaves room for legitimate optimisation.
The first introductory consultation (up to 15 minutes) is free. In it we map out your situation and outline a preliminary plan. The cost of the next steps is agreed individually and transparently before any work begins — with no hidden fees.

Your crypto. Your peace of mind. Our care.

Request a free consultation — together we will draw up a clear plan for legalising your holdings and lawfully reducing the taxable base.
