    How Crypto Is Taxed in Romania 2026

    Under the Romanian Fiscal Code (Art. 94), cryptocurrency gains are classified as "income from other sources" and taxed at a flat 10% rate. An annual exemption of €600 (equivalent in RON) applies — gains below this threshold are tax-free.

    Romania uses the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method for calculating cost basis. Each disposal (sale, swap, or payment) triggers a taxable event. Losses can offset gains within the same tax year but cannot be carried forward.

    With MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) taking full effect in 2025-2026, Romania is implementing enhanced reporting requirements for crypto service providers. The office stays ahead of regulatory changes to ensure full compliance.
