How are cryptos taxed in Cyprus

Cryptocurrency Taxation: General Overview

Individual Taxation

In Cyprus, cryptocurrencies are generally treated like any other form of income. However, there are exceptions based on the nature and frequency of your transactions:

  • Non-Trading Activity: If it can be proven that you are not a trader then the dispoal of cryptos will not be subject to tax. This has become very tricky in recent years as the Cyprus income tax office considers all persons keeping cryptos as traders, primarily due to the sophisticated knowledge required to buy them. However as explained below there are some exceptions.
  • Trading Activity: If you are actively trading cryptocurrencies, either as an individual or an investment company, your profits are taxed similarly to other salary income.

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers. That voluntary approach produced patchy results: by most accounts, fewer than half of EU countries had actually acted on those recommendations. It is worth asking whether the adoption levels were however a failure of design, or a reflection of Member States reaching different conclusions about their risk exposures.
