The crypto calendar
Everything that is known in advance: tax dates in 14 countries — filing deadlines, and the tax year ends that decide whether a loss is still usable — halvings estimated from live block heights, and the regulatory dates already written into law.
Deadlines are for individuals filing their own return — an accountant usually extends them. Each entry links to our full guide for that country, which carries the primary source it was checked against.

🇰🇷South Korea: 22% gains tax legislated to begin
Individual crypto gains above ₩2.5 million become taxable — as the law currently stands. This start date has already been postponed three times and is still politically contested, so treat it as the legal position rather than a certainty.

🇮🇪Ireland CGT payment due (December disposals)
The second Irish payment date, covering disposals made in December of the previous year.

Why this calendar is short
There is no news here, and no “expected” dates. Every entry is either written into law, fixed by a protocol, or computed from a block height — things that will still be true next month whether or not anybody updates this page.
Deliberately missing: ETF decision deadlines, exchange listings, conference schedules and rumoured network upgrades. Those move without notice, and a calendar that is confidently wrong about a date is worse than one that stays quiet about it.
The dates most people miss
Filing deadlines get attention; tax year ends do not, and they are the ones that cost money. The UK’s £3,000 annual exempt amount vanishes on 5 April if unused. Realising a loss on 1 January instead of 31 December moves the relief a whole year away. Ireland wants payment on 15 December — almost a year before the return is even due.
If a loss is what you are planning around, the tax-loss harvesting calculator shows what realising it is actually worth, and the tax report works out the whole year for your jurisdiction.
Why halvings say “around”
A halving is a block number, not a date. The estimate is derived from the chain’s current height and its target block time, so it moves as hash rate changes — faster blocks pull it earlier. Every halving entry names the height it was computed from. The live countdown →
