If money gets to your bank account, you must be able to prove its origin, in theory.

Coins have no status so holding them more or less than one year doesn't matter.

What matters is money that gets to you, looking like income.

To be on the right side of the law, you must declare them as "Non Commercial Benefits" (bénéfices non commerciaux) and then they'll be taxed like income, with a marginal rate from 14% to 45%.

This has been confirmed by several employees of the fiscal administration, but is not really official. At this point the French state is glad to get more income than expected and shouldn't look into it too much.

Hi Smiley

sorry for writing in english here, but it is hard to know in english section who is from france and who not.

I'm from germany and would like to know how private bitcoin profits are taxed in france.
Just the profits from normal trading on exchanges and holding coins not longer then one year.

In germany it is a "private sale" and the profits are added to your income, except you holded the coins one year or more.
How is it in france ?
Do you know how the tax is in other countries? I would like to gather information how tax situation is in european countries.

Regards,
