Tax Benefits of Investing in Crypto via a Swedish ISK

Investing in crypto assets through an Investment Savings Account (ISK) in Sweden can offer several tax advantages compared to holding them directly in a digital wallet or with a crypto exchange. Here are the main benefits:


  1. Flat-Rate Taxation Instead of Capital Gains Tax


When you own crypto assets directly and sell them for a profit, the gains are taxed as capital income at a rate of 30%. Investing in crypto through an ISK, which uses flat-rate taxation, can be advantageous if your investments yield high returns, as the tax does not increase proportionally with the profit.


  1. Simplified Tax Reporting


Investing in crypto assets outside of an ISK may require you to report each individual transaction, which can be complicated, especially if you are actively trading.


Within an ISK or a capital insurance account, all reporting is handled automatically, so you don’t need to declare every single transaction. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors in your tax filing.

Crypto investments come with high risk. Virtune does not provide investment advice. Investments are made at your own risk. Securities can increase or decrease in value, and there is no guarantee of recovering the invested capital. Read the prospectus, KID, and terms at www.virtune.com.
