Digital assets accounts held in France do not need to be declared. If you have a Bitstack account, you do not have to declare it. However, if you've realized cryptocurrency gains, you will need to declare them when filing your taxes.

Bitstack is a company registered as a digital asset service provider (DASP) with the Financial markets authority (AMF) in France. If you are a French tax resident, you do not need to fill out the 3916 form: Declaration of an account opened or held abroad.

In France, capital gains are subject to a single flat-rate withholding tax and are taxed at a global rate of 30%. You will therefore have to declare your taxable transactions when you file your taxes. In accordance with article 150 VH bis of the French General Tax Code, the total capital gain realized during the year is taxable if the total of all sales exceeds 305 euros.

Your capital gains must be declared each year when you file your taxes. The dates are different depending on the country in which you are a fiscal resident.

Your capital gains must be declared each year even if you have already declared them the previous year. It is always for the year N-1. Effectively, if you opened an account in 2022, you will have to report it in 2023 during the 2022 tax filing season.
