Taxable Event: A capital gain arises when you sell or exchange cryptocurrency for fiat currency (e.g., EUR, USD), or exchange one cryptocurrency for another, or use cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services.. Taxable Base: The difference between the sale price (or market value at the time of exchange/use) and the acquisition cost (purchase price). If the result is a profit, it's a capital gain. If it's a loss, it's a capital loss.. The standard capital gains tax rate on financial assets in Croatia is 10%..
