Romania introduces tax on crypto earnings
Romania introduced a 10% tax rate on cryptocurrency earnings. The new law entered into force on January 20, 2019. As a result, cryptocurrency earnings are classified as “income from other sources”. However, earnings from single transaction, which are below 200 Romanian leus (it’s around $50), are exempt from this burden. Nevertheless, if the cumulative amount exceeds 600 Romanian leus, crypto investor pays 10% tax on gains it made.
