If you’ve sold or earned crypto in Spain this past year, you might be wondering: how much do I owe—and when do I need to report it?

You’re not alone. Spain’s crypto tax rules can feel overwhelming at first, but once you break them down, it’s much more manageable. And with bunq by your side, you can stay on top of your crypto finances and file with confidence.

Is Crypto Taxed in Spain?

Yes—but the type and rate of tax depend on what you did with your crypto and how much wealth you hold.

Crypto is considered a capital asset in Spain and can be taxed under:

• Savings Income Tax – when you sell or trade crypto for a gain

• General Income Tax – when you earn crypto (e.g., staking, mining)

• Wealth Tax – if your total assets exceed the regional threshold

• Inheritance & Donations Tax – for gifted or inherited crypto

What’s Not Taxed

Not all crypto activity is taxable in Spain. You won’t pay tax when you:

• Buy crypto with EUR

• Transfer crypto between your own wallets

• Hold crypto (unless it triggers Wealth Tax)

How to Report Crypto Taxes in Spain

The tax year runs from January 1 to December 31, and the deadline to file is June 30 of the following year.

Most people file using the AEAT’s Renta Online portal. Depending on your activity, you may need to complete different sections:

• Box 1804 (F2) – Crypto sales or trades

• Box 0031 (B) – Staking income

• Box 0178 (D1) – Mining income

• Model 721 – If you hold more than €50,000 in crypto abroad

( Model 720 is not required for crypto—but still applies to other foreign assets.)
