- Summary
- The Finnish regulatory body has declared that bitcoin is generally an asset, subject to VAT and capital gains tax, but is slightly different in that capital losses won’t be deductible. Regulated by Finnish legislation based on the 5th EU Directive on fighting money laundering – Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (444/2017, Anti-Money Laundering Act). All crypto-firms are required to register with FIN-FSA. In 2018, the government released the Government Proposal 167/2018 that proposes to regulate cryptocurrency providers. In 2019, Finland introduced the Act on Virtual Currency Providers.
