Crypto Tax Deadlines 2026–2027 by Country
The dates that matter for reporting crypto gains and income, for each country we cover. Every date links to the official source, and you can add any country’s dates to your calendar.
Crypto doesn’t have its own deadlines: gains and income from crypto go on the same return as everything else, so they’re due when your normal return is due. Below, each country shows how its tax year runs, the upcoming filing and payment dates, and whether you can get more time. Dates already past are left out.
Check before you rely on a date. Deadlines can move for weekends, public holidays or special announcements. The official source for each country is linked under its table.

Getting ready before the deadline
The slow part of a crypto tax return is usually gathering complete exchange histories, not the calculation. Exports can take minutes or days to arrive, so request them early: our export help pages show where each exchange keeps them. Then import them into your country’s calculator, review anything flagged, and download the report. The guides explain the rules behind the figures, and the changelog records when we update this calendar.
