Munich, May 19, 2026 – CoinTracking now imports Trade Republic transactions natively, using the official CSV export that Trade Republic released in April 2026. Trade Republic users across all 18 European markets can now generate country-specific crypto tax reports directly from the CSV export, without manual reconciliation or PDF parsing.
The Trade Republic crypto tax problem, and what just changed
Trade Republic is a European broker with 8 million+ customers across 18 European countries. It has offered crypto since April 2021, with real coins held in regulated cold storage and order execution via institutional liquidity. Around 50 cryptocurrencies are supported today.
Three facts shape the tax problem for almost every Trade Republic user. The broker does not withhold tax on crypto in any of its 18 EU markets. The annual broker tax statement that Trade Republic provides covers stocks, ETFs, and interest income — but not crypto sales. And in many EU jurisdictions, crypto gains are treated separately from capital income from stocks and ETFs, often with different forms, rules, and tax treatment.
The result in practice: until April 2026, every Trade Republic user with crypto activity had a PDF problem. The only document the broker offered was an informational PDF. Anything beyond that meant scraping, copy-pasting, or feeding pages through a parser and hoping the column alignment held.
What's new: the Trade Republic crypto CSV export
In April 2026, Trade Republic released a transaction export in CSV format. One file covers both the brokerage and cash accounts, including crypto buys and sells, with a period you choose: from a single month to every transaction since you opened the account.
The path inside the app: Profile, then Account Statements, then Transaction Export.
Several portfolio trackers added CSV support within days of the export going live. CoinTracking is one of the first crypto-tax tools to read it natively. Transactions are automatically categorized during import, including trades, deposits, withdrawals, and staking rewards. No manual mapping is required.
How to import Trade Republic into CoinTracking
A clean import process in three steps.
Step 1: Export from Trade Republic
- Open the Trade Republic app on your phone.
- Tap Profile, then Account Statements, then Transaction Export.
- Tap Share, choose All transactions or pick a specific period, then tap Create.
- Wait for the file. Tap Download, or share it to your email or cloud storage.
Step 2: Import into CoinTracking
- Log in at cointracking.info. Go to your Dashboard.
- Click on Imports.
- Search for Trade Republic.
- Upload the CSV.
- CoinTracking auto-classifies each row: trades, deposits, withdrawals, staking rewards. Review any reconciliation flags before continuing.
Step 3: Generate your tax report
- Select your country. CoinTracking produces tax reports for over twenty-five jurisdictions across Europe and beyond.
- Select a calculation method. The default depends on your country's rules — first-in, first-out (FIFO) is the standard in most EU jurisdictions.
- Download the country-specific report. Figures arrive in the format your local tax authority expects.
One thing to check before generating the report: if you started using Trade Republic before April 2026 and the new CSV only covers a fraction of your history, export the longest period the app allows and check whether your earliest trades are present. Anything older that the CSV does not cover should be reconstructed from older PDF statements or the order confirmations sent to your email. CoinTracking can accept manual entries for those gaps, and the report will treat them as fully tracked lots.
Trade Republic crypto tax reports across 18 European countries
Trade Republic operates across 18 European countries, including Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, and Poland. Crypto tax rules differ significantly between jurisdictions, including how gains are calculated, reported, and taxed. CoinTracking generates country-specific crypto tax reports based on the country where you file taxes, with figures aligned to the relevant forms, calculation methods, and reporting requirements.
Dedicated country tax guides on CoinTracking
If you file in Germany, Austria, Spain, or Portugal, CoinTracking has a dedicated tax guide covering the country's specific rules and matching report format. Each link goes to a full breakdown of how the rules apply to Trade Republic-style crypto activity.
France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and the rest
For Trade Republic's other EU markets, CoinTracking produces the country-specific tax figures the local tax authority expects. We don't try to replicate every local statute on this page; the country report is the artifact you need at filing time. If you're unsure how the rules apply to your specific case, run the report and check the totals with your local accountant.
DAC8 in 2026: the short version
DAC8 is the EU directive that brings crypto-asset transaction reporting in line with how bank account data is already shared between member states. Starting with the 2026 reporting period, brokers — including Trade Republic — must report certain crypto transaction data per user to each user's national tax authority. Your filing needs to reconcile with what gets reported about you.
One clarification, because users often ask: CoinTracking is not a reporting institution under DAC8. We do not transmit your data to any tax authority. The reporting obligation sits with the broker, not with the portfolio-tracking and tax-report tool. Your CoinTracking account stays private; the report it generates is yours, and it only reaches the tax office when you choose to file it.
Beyond Trade Republic
Most Trade Republic users do not keep all of their crypto activity on a single platform. CoinTracking supports 400+ integrations across exchanges, wallets, and blockchains, plus 25+ country-specific tax reports. The Trade Republic CSV becomes part of the same consolidated portfolio as your Bitvavo activity, Binance trades, wallet transactions, and DeFi positions. The resulting crypto tax report reflects the full portfolio, not just one platform.
