2026 Tax News: What Changes for Investors

2025 was a transition year, and 2026 consolidates the new fiscal regime for the taxation of crypto-assets in Italy. Here are the fundamental pillars you need to know:

• Tax Rates: For the 2025 tax year (2026 declaration), a 26% rate generally applies to capital gains. However, take note: the new 33% rate introduced by recent measures comes into full effect for income generated in 2026.

• Abolition of the Threshold: The historical €2,000 exemption threshold has been eliminated. Today, every single euro of capital gain must be declared and taxed.

• Tax Monitoring: It remains mandatory to report holdings in Quadro W (or RW) for the calculation of the crypto-asset tax (IC), which is equal to 0.2% of the value of your assets as of December 31st or the date of sale.

How are Crypto Taxes Calculated on Bitget?

Declaring your trades on Bitget requires precision in calculating the cost basis. The Italian system generally adopts the weighted average cost method to determine capital gains (the difference between the sale price and the purchase price).

Key Sections (Quadri) for Your Declaration:

Quadro W: For monitoring (referred to as IC or IVCA tax) assets held abroad and calculating the 0.2% tax.

Quadro RT (or the new Quadro T for Form 730): To report capital gains subject to substitute tax.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions on Crypto Taxation

Do I have to declare crypto if I haven't withdrawn in Euro? Yes. In Italy, the exchange between different crypto-assets does not generate a taxable capital gain, but it must still be monitored in Quadro W. Taxation is triggered when you convert to fiat currency or purchase goods/services.

What happens if I don't declare my assets on Bitget? Failure to declare can lead to administrative penalties ranging from 3% to 15% of the undeclared amounts.

Does Waltio also manage Bitget Staking and Bonuses (Airdrops)? Certainly. The software correctly categorizes income from staking, airdrops, or referral bonuses, applying the correct tax treatment for each case.

What are the Deadlines for Declaring My Cryptocurrencies?

Don't be caught unprepared. Tax compliance has a specific calendar; missing these dates means exposure to penalties and interest.

• June 30, 2026: Deadline for the F24 payment of the 2025 tax balance (the 26% substitute tax) and the crypto-asset tax (0.2%).

• September 30, 2026: Deadline for the electronic submission of Modello 730. If you are an employee, ensure your additional crypto sections are ready.
