Who this is for
Digital assets are no longer a grey area — they are taxable in most countries, and the rules keep shifting
Digital assets cover far more than bitcoin: non-fungible tokens (NFTs), utility and security tokens, stablecoins, decentralised finance positions, and tokenised shares or real estate each raise their own tax questions. In most European countries, buying, holding, selling or earning rewards on these assets can create taxable events, and the way each type of asset is classified — as a capital asset, as income, or as something else — determines what you owe and when. Guidance is frequently updated, and what was accepted practice a year ago may no longer be. A specialist digital assets lawyer helps you classify each holding correctly, manage the tax on sales and income, and stay ahead of changing rules so your reporting remains defensible if the authority ever asks.
Why digital asset holders slip up
The taxonomy is unsettled and the reporting is yours.
Both move faster than most advice.
An NFT flip, a DeFi yield or a token you received for free can each carry a tax consequence that is easy to overlook.
Unclear asset classification
Whether an NFT or a token is treated as a capital asset, as income, or as a financial instrument varies by country — and that classification changes the tax rate, the timing and the reporting that applies.
Invisible taxable events
Swapping one token for another, providing liquidity, or receiving staking rewards can all be taxable even though no fiat money changed hands. Holders routinely miss events that the authority counts.
Rules that change year to year
Guidance on digital assets is being updated constantly across Europe. A position that was compliant last year may not be this year, and back-reporting a change is rarely straightforward.
What you get
A digital assets lawyer who keeps your reporting defensible
We match you with lawyers who advise on digital asset taxation regularly, so your advice reflects the latest guidance in your country.
Asset-by-asset classification
Each holding — NFT, utility token, stablecoin, DeFi position — is classified under your country’s current rules, so you know exactly how each one is taxed before you transact.
Complete transaction capture
Every taxable event across your wallets and platforms is identified, including swaps and rewards that never touched fiat, so nothing is omitted from your reporting.
Forward-looking planning
Before you sell, trade or restructure, your lawyer advises on the tax impact and the timing, helping you structure activity in a way that is efficient and compliant.
Support in an enquiry
If the authority questions your digital asset reporting, your lawyer explains the technical detail behind each holding, provides the supporting evidence and represents you through any dispute or negotiation that follows.

Frequently asked
Digital assets tax — common questions
Are NFTs taxed differently from cryptocurrency?
Often yes. In some countries an NFT bought and later sold is treated as a capital asset, while in others it may be taxed differently or attract specific rules. The treatment depends on the nature of the NFT and your country’s guidance, so each holding should be assessed individually.
Is a token-to-token swap a taxable event?
In most jurisdictions, yes — exchanging one token for another is generally treated as a disposal of the first token, which can trigger a gain or loss even though no fiat currency was involved. This is one of the most commonly missed taxable events.
Do DeFi yields and rewards need to be reported?
Typically yes. Income from staking, lending or liquidity provision is usually taxable, though the classification and timing differ by country. A specialist can confirm how your specific DeFi activity should be treated and reported.
What records should I keep for digital assets?
You should keep records of every acquisition, disposal, swap and reward — including dates, amounts, values in fiat at the time, and wallet or exchange addresses. Many countries require you to retain these for a number of years, and complete records are your best defence in any enquiry.
Can I correct past digital asset reporting?
Generally yes, and doing so voluntarily is almost always better than waiting to be found. Several countries have voluntary disclosure or correction routes that can reduce penalties. A lawyer can assess your exposure and handle the correction properly.
Is digital asset tax the same across the EU?
No. Although there is a push towards common reporting standards, the substantive tax treatment of digital assets remains national and differs between countries. The advice that applies in one country will not necessarily apply in another.
