Italy’s Ruling Bloc Moves to Halt 2026 Crypto Gains Tax Hike

Parties finalize priority amendments this week ahead of a summit set to decide budget offsets.

Overview

  • Fratelli d’Italia, Forza Italia and the League have tabled measures to keep the tax on crypto capital gains at 26% instead of rising to 33% from January 2026.
  • Two identical suppression amendments—filed by FdI’s Pellegrino and FI’s Lotito—would delete last year’s clause that triggers the 33% rate next year.
  • Roughly 5,742 budget amendments are being cut to just over 400 “segnalati” on November 18, with strict party quotas guiding what advances to committee.
  • Coverage options under negotiation include a €2 charge on small extra‑EU parcels and a 12.5% preferential levy for investment‑gold revaluation, alongside changes to tax amnesties and rental rules.
  • Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti and Bank of Italy Governor Fabio Panetta highlight illicit‑finance risks tied to crypto and call for stronger rules and controls as the fiscal debate proceeds.
