Austria Introduces Standardized Tax Report for Bitcoin Transactions

In 2026, Austrian investors can rely on a new standardized tax report for Bitcoin transactions. This report will help simplify the process of offsetting losses and calculating capital gains tax.

The report is mandatory for income from 2025 onwards and covers data relevant to individual investors, including tax-relevant income and losses. It distinguishes between income that can be taken into account in automatic loss offset and income that was left out of it.

The report will contain information on which crypto income was recorded for tax purposes, which losses were taken into account, and which capital gains tax has already been accounted for or remitted. However, not every transaction shows up in the tax report automatically, as transfers between wallets are generally not taxable disposals.
