🇵🇹 Portugal: AT binding opinion regarding Crypto-to-Stablecoin Swaps🫴
Binding tax ruling (Processo 28969) from the Portuguese Tax Authority (AT), has clarified the tax treatment for investors using stablecoins as a technical bridge to cash out.
If you’ve ever had to swap a token for USDC or USDT simply because there wasn't a direct Euro (EUR) trading pair, this update is for you🫵
🔍 The Key Takeaways:
1⃣No Tax on Crypto-to-Crypto Swaps: The AT confirmed that swapping one cryptoasset for another (including stablecoins like USDC) is not a taxable event. The tax liability is deferred until you convert to fiat currency (like EUR).
2⃣The 365-Day Rule Remains Strong: Capital gains from crypto held for 365 days or more are exempt from IRS (Personal Income Tax).
3⃣Technical Swaps Don't Reset the Clock: If you hold a token for over a year and perform an immediate "technical swap" to a stablecoin just to facilitate a final sale to EUR, the exemption still applies. The AT views this as a single continuous process of realization.
4⃣A Caveat on Jurisdiction: ⚠️This deferral and exemption only apply if the entities involved (like the exchange) are resident in the EU, EEA, or a jurisdiction with a tax information exchange agreement with Portugal.
💡 Why This Matters
This ruling reinforces Portugal's "Realized Gains" principle. It acknowledges the technical realities of the crypto market, where direct fiat pairs aren't always available, ensuring that investors aren't unfairly penalized for the lack of market liquidity.
The Bottom Line: If you've held your assets for over a year, you can navigate through a stablecoin to reach EUR without losing your tax-exempt status, provided the move is immediate and technical.

@WesVeve I never got into VeVe because of Omi.
Honestly speaking i was against Omi being connected to VeVe until they made everyone cash out only in Omi.
I joined VeVe for the digital comics, not even the collectibles.
Of course i have some collectibles that i like to have.
🚨BREAKING: The EU agrees to EXEMPT Poland from migrant-relocation obligations starting in 2026 🇪🇺🇵🇱
The EU migration pact allows member states to either accept relocated migrants from frontline countries or pay EUR 20,000 for each individual they decline to take.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński: “We achieved what we promised — no refugees, no compensation.”
Polish citizens have rejected the influx of refugees and the illegal migration policies imposed by the overreaching EU. Citizens across Europe should likewise challenge the EU and its unlawful migration agenda.
BE LIKE POLAND!🇵🇱
The EU Commission should be disbanded in favor of an elected body and the EU President should be directly elected.
The current system is rule by bureaucracy, not democracy.
@CrypJoto@DGCgrading@veve_official Looks that you're better informed than the majority.
Explain to me and others what's the criteria, due to the collectibles don't wear off and how you will transform a nft into other nft? Are you allowed to burn them.
This project is a flop even before launching.
@Stynray01@DGCgrading@CrypJoto They're bs project.
How you can grade collectibles that doesn't wear off.
Stinks scam from the other side of the Atlantic 🤦🏽♂️
