NFT Tax Poland 2026 – Sales, Minting & Royalties

NFTs are taxed like crypto in Poland. Sales, minting, and royalties all have tax consequences. Here's how Polish tax authorities treat them.

NFT Sales

Selling an NFT is treated as a taxable event under PIT (other income).

Example:

• Buy an NFT for €1,000 (PLN 4,200)
• Sell it for €3,000 (PLN 12,600)
• Capital gain: PLN 8,400 (taxed at 12% or 32%)
• Tax: PLN 1,008-2,688

Minting NFTs

When you mint an NFT, the cost basis is the cost to mint (gas fees, platform fees).

When you sell, appreciation is taxed at your marginal rate.

Royalties

When someone resells your NFT on platforms like OpenSea, you receive a royalty (5-10% typically).

Tax Treatment: Royalties are taxed as other income under PIT.

Example:

• Your NFT resells for €10,000
• You get 10% royalty: €1,000 (PLN 4,200)
• Tax: PLN 504-1,344

Tracking and Reporting

• Track every purchase with date and cost (in PLN)
• Track every sale with date and proceeds (in PLN)
• Record royalties received
• Report all in your PIT-37 tax declaration

Professional NFT Trading

If you trade NFTs regularly as a business, Polish authorities may reclassify you as self-employed:

• Income is taxed at progressive rates (or flat CIT)
• You may need to register as professional trader
• Deductible expenses offset income

Strategies for 2026

Advantage: Poland's progressive PIT (12-32%) applies fairly to NFT sales too.
