    Selling cryptocurrency for fiat currency (e.g. USD) or using it to purchase goods or services are subject to capital gains tax.

    Mined cryptocurrency is taxable as income at their fair market value at the time they are obtained.

  • Tax laws vary based on your country/jurisdiction. Cryptocurrencies are considered to be capital assets in most countries, which are subject to capital gains taxes if the asset appreciates in value and you sell/trade/use it for profit. If you sell/trade/use the assets at a loss when the asset depreciates in value, you may be able to reduce your taxes by claiming the losses against other capital gains.

  • Generally, the giver is not subject to tax unless it meets the threshold for a gift tax. The receiver will take on the cost basis of the cryptocurrency from the donor in additional to any taxable income that may be relevant.

    However, there is an exception if the donor' basis was higher than the market value of the bitcoin at the time of the gift, such that there was a capital loss on the coins at the time of transfer. In this case, the receiver should recalculate the capital gain/loss using their basis as the market value of the coins on the date of transfer. If there is still a loss, then the receiver shall adopt the market value on the transfer date as the cost basis. If there is a capital gain, US tax law states to ignore the gain and report nothing. This method prevents people from sharing capital losses between friends.

  • A wash sale is a sale of a security at a loss and repurchase of the same or substantially identical security 30 days before or after. Wash sale regulations prevent people from claiming losses in one tax year and immediately buying back into the stock the following tax year. You can still make the sale, however you will not be able to deduct the capital loss.

    Since the IRS regards cryptocurrencies as property rather than stocks and securities, wash sales are not calculated/applied by Lumina. Please consult a tax professional for more information.

  • Guidance issued by the Australian Tax Office specifies that virtual currencies are subject to capital gains tax (CGT) when the asset is disposed, such as sold, traded or used to purchase items. You will make a capital gain if the value of the asset at the time of disposal is more than the value of the asset upon acquisition.Note: if you are a professional trader, then trading stock tax treatment may apply instead of capital gains tax treatment. Personal Use Assets: Cryptocurrency can be a personal use asset if it is kept or mainly used to purchase items for personal use or consumption, usually acquired and used within a short period of time. Cryptocurrency is not a personal use asset if it is used mainly as an investment, used to generate profit, or used in the course of carrying on a business. Capital gains or losses from the disposal of personal use cryptocurrency may be disregarded.Cryptocurrency as an investment: If cryptocurrency is held as an investment, you are not entitled to the personal use asset exemption. You may be entitled to the CGT discount to reduce the capital gain. If you have a net capital loss, it may be used to reduce a capital gain in later years. Businesses: Cryptocurrency held for sale or exchange in the ordinary course of business follows trading stock rules instead of CGT rules. Proceeds from the cryptocurrency are taxed as ordinary income, and related costs are deductible.Loss or theft of cryptocurrency: to claim a capital loss on lost or stolen cryptocurrency you must be able to provide the following kinds of evidence:

    When you lost the private key

    The wallet address

    Cost you incurred to acquire the cryptocurrency

    Amount of cryptocurrency in the wallet at the time of loss

    You had control over the wallet or have possession over the hardware that stores the wallet

    Transactions from an exchange to the wallet is linked to your verified account

    Forks: No income is incurred in the event of a cryptocurrency fork. The cost basis is $0 and capital gains will apply at the disposal time of the coin(s). If the forked coin is held by a business, it will still be treated as a trading stock. The asset must be brought to account at the end of the income year.

  • The method for reporting mined cryptocurrency depends on if you are classified as a hobbyist or self-employed (business) miner under the IRS. Some measures to determine which group you are in include:

  • The amount of tax you pay on your cryptocurrency gains depends on how long you have held the coins for and your ordinary tax rate.

    Coins you have had for one year or less are short term capital gains. The gains are added to your income and you are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.

    Coins you have had for more than one year are long term capital gains and are taxed between 0-20%, in accordance with your ordinary income rate. For more detailed information on short and long term capital gains see here.

  • Cost basis is determined by the fair market value of the coin or fiat currency being paid at the moment of the transaction.

    For pricing, Lumina uses CryptoCompare for:

    Real Time Pricing Source: used to compute near real time aggregate portfolio values.

    Transaction Pricing Source: used for cost basis and proceeds computation at the time of transaction.

    Transaction Fallback Pricing Source: used for cost basis and proceeds computation at the time of transaction when the transaction pricing source doesnt have pricing data for a specific asset. For example, if Lumina doesnt have pricing data for an altcoin-to-altcoin transaction at an OTC venue, the system will fallback to the specified pricing provider.

    Crypto Fiat Pricing Source: if the BTC-to-Fiat trading pair or ETH-to-Fiat trading pair is not available at the trading venue, the system will fallback to the specified pricing provider.

    The Reporting Pricing Source used for reconciliation reports can be from either CryptoCompare or CoinMarketCap. This setting can be changed by an Admin in Portfolio Settings.

  • The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has specified that virtual currencies are taxed like barter transactions. It can also be bought or sold like a commodity, with any resulting gains or losses being taxed as income or capital. Paragraphs 9-32 of the IT-479R provide guidance on determining whether transactions are income or capital. 100% of income is subject to tax, where only 50% of capital gains are included in taxable income.

    Accounting methods: The CRA requires using Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) to calculate capital gains, and FIFO or ACB inventory methods can be used to track business income.

    Foreign Property: When you hold foreign property greater than $100,000 CAD in value during any time throughout the year, you must fill out a T2125 Statement of Business or Professional Activities.

    Airdrops or Forks: In Canada, the cost basis for these coins are 0, meaning that when the coins are disposed the entire proceeds are taxable as capital gains or business income.

    Mining: Mining activity is considered a business operation, meaning inventory and business income rules apply. Any costs associated with mining activity needs to be calculated per coin and can be deducted against the proceeds.
