In Germany, using Bitcoin to buy gift cards is treated as a taxable sale under section 23 of the Income Tax Act if the coins were held for less than 12 months. The transaction is considered a disposal, with the gift card's euro value as the sale proceeds. Gains above 1,000 euros in a year are fully taxable, and the holding period is crucial for tax exemption. Taxpayers must keep detailed records since gift card purchases do not generate exchange statements. This ruling was confirmed by the Federal Fiscal Court and clarified in the 2025 Federal Ministry of Finance circular.
