How is forex trading taxed in Greece in 2026?
Greek tax residents pay a flat 15% capital gains tax on forex and CFD profits, plus a 7.5% solidarity contribution (suspended for private-sector employees and pensioners in 2026 but still applicable to investment income above EUR 12,000 in some cases). Profits are declared on Form E1 with capital gains on annex E2 via Taxisnet.
Is Exness a safe broker?
Exness is an established, well-capitalised broker, but it does not accept EU, EEA or UK retail clients — it closed onboarding to those residents in 2019. EU and UK traders therefore cannot open an Exness account or rely on CySEC/FCA investor-protection schemes through it. Where Exness does onboard (non-EU and emerging markets), clients are served by its offshore Seychelles FSA entity (license SD025), which sits outside EU/UK compensation schemes such as the ICF and FSCS.
