Staking and lending rewards DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-10 (champ d application), read September 2026).

Losses
Les redevables portent sur la déclaration annuelle prévue à l' article 170 du CGI le montant global de la plus ou moins-value réalisée au titre des cessions imposables de l'année. Ils joignent à cette déclaration une annexe conforme à un modèle établi par l'administration, sur laquelle ils mentionnent et évaluent l'ensemble des plus ou moins-values réalisées à l'occasion de chacune des cessions imposables effectuées au cours de l'année ou les prix de chacune des cessions exonérées en application du B du II de l'article 150 VH bis du CGI.

Rate or regime
Les plus-values des particuliers entrant dans le champ d’application de l' article 150 VH bis du CGI sont soumises à l'impôt sur le revenu au taux forfaitaire de 12,8 % ( CGI, art. 200 C ) ainsi qu'aux prélèvements sociaux sur les revenus du patrimoine au taux global de 17,2 %. Les plus-values concernées sont donc imposées à un taux global de 30 %.

Holding-period rule DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-30 (modalites d imposition et obligations declaratives), read September 2026). There is no holding period in this regime: the doctrine states one flat rate for occasional disposals and an option for the progressive scale, with no period qualifying either.

Reporting form
Le montant net imposable de plus-value ou, le cas échéant, le montant de moins-value résultant des cessions de l’année d'actifs numériques ou de droits s'y rapportant mentionnées à l' article 150 VH bis du CGI doit être porté sur la déclaration des revenus n° 2042-C .

Filing deadline DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-30 (modalites d imposition et obligations declaratives), read September 2026). The doctrine says the option must be made on the annual return at the latest before the filing deadline expires, but does not give that date.

Exemption or allowance DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-30 (modalites d imposition et obligations declaratives), read September 2026). The annual disposal threshold in article 150 VH bis is not restated on the modalites page; it is in the statute, which this ledger has not read.

CARF / DAC8 status DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-30 (modalites d imposition et obligations declaratives), read September 2026). Neither BOFiP page read here mentions DAC8 or the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.

An absence here means we have no quotation, never that the transaction is untaxed.

CARF and DAC8

The OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework and the EU's DAC8 make crypto-asset service providers report their users' transactions to tax authorities, which then exchange them. Where an authority states its own position, the cell quotes it. The OECD's commitment list is not on this site: oecd.org answers a bot wall, and this site does not publish a list nobody here has read.

DGFiP does not publish this on the page read here (DGFiP - Actifs numeriques - BOFiP BOI-RPPM-PVBMC-30-30 (modalites d imposition et obligations declaratives), read September 2026). Neither BOFiP page read here mentions DAC8 or the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.
