Deposits
Withdrawals
1 – ICO, OTC and Swap classifications act similar to orders. The deposit (acquisition) of the new coins is not taxable, but the withdrawal (coins traded) is taxable.
2 – Fees that are allocable to a specific crypto asset are included as part of your tax basis within your taxable disposals. These fees represent other fees such as internal fees that are not directly allocable to a specific crypto asset.
3 – Adjustments from use of reconcile function due to variances between imported data and actual balances. Disclosed separately in your tax report.
4 – Treated as nontaxable. The amount is reported separately in your tax report as it may be deductible in limited circumstances; refer to the Tax Guide for deductibility.
5 – Margin gains, losses and fees are reported separately in your tax report.
6 – Unless it’s a gift to your spouse or civil partner. If that’s the case, classify it as “Remove funds”.
7 – If you maintain beneficial ownership of your assets during the lending period, then this is nontaxable.
