Hi Guys,
This is my first post here. Please pardon me writing in English. My German is not the best and this is a quite technical subject. I am not sure I could express it in German.
That being said, thank you for your understanding!
I have invested in crypto at the end of 2016 and unfortunately until today I haven't payed any takes on my investments. This is more from negligence and lack of understanding than anything else. I am not a heavy trader but more like a hodler however I did bought and sold and received coins from various forks. As an example I "panic sold" at first with no big profit. I think somewhere around 500-550e or so. Regardless going forward I am looking to go for a consultation with a tax consultant or use some software to calculate my taxes.
I have a couple of questions for you.
1) First how much taxes one has to pay for the profits in Germany? From what I understand is around 25%. Is it correct?
2) What should I expect from Finanzamt for declaring the taxes on profits so late?
3) Would you recommend a software or a tax consultant for this kind of job? If yes, which software would you recommend.
4) How much would a tax consultant charge me for such a job? A rough estimation would be enough.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your answers.
