Taxable events in crypto

In many countries, tax applies to disposals: selling crypto for cash, swapping one token for another, or paying for goods with crypto. Holding, or moving coins between your own wallets, is usually not a disposal.

Some operations are often treated as income when received: staking rewards, interest, airdrops or payment for work. Their value at reception may also become their cost basis.

Rules vary a lot. Some countries tax crypto-to-crypto swaps, others only conversions to cash; thresholds, rates and holding-period rules differ. This lesson is general information, not tax advice.

Whatever the rules, the same raw data is needed: date, asset, quantity, value and fees for every operation.
