Hello, the rule in Germany where if you hold your Crypto for 1 year or longer, it’s tax-free, does this still apply to trades being made on DEXes like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, etc? Or does this only hold true if you sell Crypto for FIAT on Coinbase or Binance, etc?
Example:
I trade ETH for LINK on Uniswap. After 366 days I swap my LINK for ETH on Uniswap. Will I have to pay tax on any profits made?
The First Trade is taxable on your ETH Gains if you had them for less than a year, the second swap will be tax free, but if you sell the received ETH in under a year it will be taxable again.
Basic Rule. Every Swap/Sell/Trade is taxable if Coin that is used for the Deal is less than a year in your Portfolio.
Thanks for your answer! Good to know you can still get the 1 year tax exemption even if the trade is done on a decentralized exchange
