Every country, with its rule

The same 29 rows as the chart, plus what each country does and what changes if you hold for longer.
Country	Rule	Tax	Rate	What time changes
Belgium	Rule10% on your gains, whenever you sell. The first €10,000 of gains each year is free. Only the growth after 1 January 2026 is taxed. What a holding gained before that date stays free.	Tax€0	Rate0%	What time changes—
Switzerland	RuleNo capital gains tax for private investors. This applies to private investors. Frequent trading, borrowed money or very short holding periods can make the tax office treat you as a professional — and then the whole gain is ordinary income.	Tax€0	Rate0%	What time changes—
Greece	RuleNo capital gains tax for private investors. The 15% tax on listed shares is suspended, not abolished, and is renewed year by year. It does not apply below a 0.5% shareholding either way.	Tax€0	Rate0%	What time changes—
Netherlands	RuleNo capital gains tax for private investors. There is no tax on the gain itself. Instead an assumed return on your assets is taxed at 36% each year, above €59,357 of tax-free capital — whether you sell or not.	Tax€0	Rate0%	What time changes—
Romania	Rule6% at first, 3% once you have held for 1 year. Your broker withholds the tax on each sale. There is no annual netting of gains against losses.	Tax€600	Rate6%	What time changesChanges after 1 year
Canada	Rule50% of your gain joins your income, taxed at 14% to 33%. Only 50% of a gain is taxable — the rest is yours whatever your rate. Only 50% of each gain is taxable. Your province's own tax is not estimated.	Tax€700	Rate7%	What time changes—
Mexico	Rule10% on your gains, whenever you sell. This applies to shares sold THROUGH a recognised exchange. A private sale of the same share is ordinary income instead.	Tax€1,000	Rate10%	What time changes—
South Africa	Rule40% of your gain joins your income, taxed at 18% to 45%. The first ZAR 50,000 of gains each year is free. Only 40% of a gain is taxable — the rest is yours whatever your rate. Shares held for three years or more are deemed capital in nature under section 9C — a safe harbour, not a different rate. The primary rebate is not modelled, and a weighted-average election binds a class of shares from its first disposal. Only 40% of each gain is taxable.	Tax€1,049	Rate10.5%	What time changes—
United Kingdom	Rule18% to 24%, depending on your other income. The first £3,000 of gains each year is free. Shares of the same class are pooled at their average cost — the Section 104 holding.

Lithuania	Rule15% on your gains, whenever you sell. The first €500 of gains each year is free. Very large gains are charged at 20% above a threshold set as a multiple of the average wage.	Tax€1,425	Rate14.3%	What time changes—
Czechia	RuleSales are tax-free after more than three years of holding. Sell no more than CZK 100,000 of securities in a year and none of it is taxed — one crown over and the exemption is gone. An already tax-free sale still counts toward the limit.	Tax€1,500	Rate15%	What time changesChanges after 3 years
Hungary	Rule15% on your gains, whenever you sell.	Tax€1,500	Rate15%	What time changes—
Slovakia	RuleTax-free once you have held for 1 year; taxed with your income before that. The first €500 of gains each year is free. The one-year exemption applies to securities traded on a regulated market. Health-insurance contributions of about 15% may also fall due on a taxable gain, and are not in this estimate.	Tax€1,805	Rate18.1%	What time changesChanges after 1 year
Poland	Rule19% on your gains, whenever you sell.	Tax€1,900	Rate19%	What time changes—

Estonia	Rule22% on your gains, whenever you sell.	Tax€2,200	Rate22%	What time changes—
United States	RuleHeld more than one year is taxed at the lower long-term rate. Above $200,000 of income, investment gains pay 3.8% more. State tax is not estimated for your state — only federal tax is shown.	Tax€2,200	Rate22%	What time changesChanges after 1 year
Germany	RuleEvery sale is taxed at the flat rate — there is no holding period. The first €1,000 of investment gains each year is free. Equity funds: 30% of the gain is exempt. Shares bought before 2009 are never taxed.	Tax€2,374	Rate23.7%	What time changes—

Italy	Rule26% on your gains, whenever you sell.	Tax€2,600	Rate26%	What time changes—
Denmark	Rule27% to 42%, depending on how big the gain is. Married couples get the lower band twice: the DKK 79,400 threshold is per person and transferable.	Tax€2,700	Rate27%	What time changes—
Austria	Rule27.5% on your gains, whenever you sell.	Tax€2,750	Rate27.5%	What time changes—
Portugal	Rule28% on your gains, whenever you sell. Sell within a year while your income is in the top bracket and the gain is added to that income instead, at up to 48%.	Tax€2,800	Rate28%	What time changes—
Ireland	Rule33% on your gains, whenever you sell. The first €1,270 of gains each year is free.	Tax€2,881	Rate28.8%	What time changes—
Finland	Rule30% to 34%, depending on how big the gain is. Sell €1,000 or less in total across the year and the gain is exempt — it is a test on PROCEEDS, not on profit.	Tax€3,000	Rate30%	What time changes—
Sweden	Rule30% on your gains, whenever you sell. A loss is not carried forward — it gives you a tax reduction of 30% in the same year, against other tax you owe.	Tax€3,000	Rate30%	What time changes—
France	Rule12.8% on your gains, whenever you sell. Social levies of 18.6% are charged on the same gain, on top of the income tax. You can choose the progressive income-tax scale instead of the flat tax — worth checking at a low income, and it then applies to all your investment income for the year.	Tax€3,140	Rate31.4%	What time changes—
Norway	Rule37.8% on your gains, whenever you sell. A shielding deduction reduces the taxable gain by a risk-free return on what you paid, and any unused shielding carries forward.	Tax€3,784	Rate37.8%	What time changes—

An estimate, not a tax return

This tool prices one hypothetical sale under each country's general rules for a private investor holding listed shares or ETFs. It ignores fees, currency conversion, losses elsewhere in your portfolio, allowances already used this year, wrappers such as an ISA or a PEA, double-tax treaties and every personal circumstance a real return depends on. Rates and thresholds come from our published tax data file, which records a source and a verification date per country; laws change, and some 2026 figures were still provisional when it was written. Nothing here is tax advice. Check your own position with a qualified adviser before you sell.
