TechFlow News, May 30: According to a Politico report, a document submitted by the European Commission to EU member states and the European Parliament reveals that the EU is assessing the possibility of incorporating the crypto industry into its unified tax system to identify new sources of fiscal revenue for the 2028–2034 budget cycle.
The document estimates that imposing a 0.1% tax on cryptocurrency transaction volumes could generate approximately €3–4 billion annually for the EU; taxing crypto capital gains is projected to yield an additional €1–2.4 billion per year.
However, the European Commission also notes that due to insufficient data availability on the crypto industry, current revenue projections carry significant uncertainty, and actual outcomes may differ substantially from these estimates.
The proposal remains under assessment. Formal implementation would require unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states. If successfully advanced, this would represent one of the most significant discussions on a unified crypto tax policy within the EU.
