I've been delving into the realm of cryptocurrency investments and have come across a question that's piqued my interest. Specifically, I'm wondering if cryptocurrencies incur income tax in Germany? I've heard conflicting reports, some stating that there are exemptions for holding digital assets for over a year, while others suggest that all transactions are taxable. Could you clarify the situation in Germany? I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any specific tax exemptions for long-term investors and if there's a standard tax rate that applies to crypto transactions. Understanding the tax implications is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

According to German regulation in 2022, the income tax brackets are determined based on two primary factors: the total income earned during the financial year and the taxpayer's relationship status, whether they are single or married.

For singles, the tax brackets range from a basic allowance, above which a progressive tax rate is applied. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate becomes.
