Coss Taxes: How to Import Your Historical Data & Generate Your Tax Report

Coss Tax at a Glance

Last updated: June 2026
  • Every crypto trade, swap, and disposal on Coss is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Capital gains tax and income tax may both apply — regardless of whether the exchange is still operating.
  • CoinTracking imports Coss transactions via CSV export (manual upload). Upload your Coss CSV file to import your full historical trading data including trades, deposits, withdrawals, and fees.
  • Transferring crypto between your own wallets or accounts is not a taxable event. Buying and holding crypto is not taxable until disposal.
  • Coss has been closed since 2020. You can still import historical data via CSV. Your tax obligations for trades made on Coss remain in effect — all gains, losses, and income must be declared for the relevant tax years. CoinTracking supports CSV import for historical Coss data.

Coss and Your Crypto Tax Obligations

Coss (Crypto One Stop Solution) was a Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange that allowed users to trade a wide range of digital assets. The exchange shut down in 2020, but the tax obligations arising from trades executed on the platform remain fully in force for all affected tax years.

As a Singapore-based exchange operating outside the EU, Coss was not subject to EU DAC8 reporting requirements. However, depending on applicable regulations, user data may have been reported to relevant tax authorities. You remain personally responsible for declaring all taxable events from your Coss trading history.

CoinTracking supports Coss via CSV import:

  • Coss CSV: upload your Coss trade history CSV export for a full import of all your trades, deposits, withdrawals, and fees
  • All spot trades, disposals, and deposit/withdrawal history are supported
  • Historical data from closed exchanges is fully compatible with CoinTracking's tax engine
  • Generate back-tax reports for prior years if you have not yet declared your Coss activity

Crypto Tax Basics: What Coss Users Need to Know

Coss served traders across multiple jurisdictions worldwide. The core tax principles below apply broadly — but always verify the specifics with your local tax authority or a qualified tax advisor.

Every disposal is a taxable event

In most countries, selling, swapping, or otherwise disposing of cryptocurrency triggers capital gains tax. The gain or loss equals the difference between your proceeds and your cost basis (what you originally paid, including fees). This applies to each individual trade made on Coss — even historical ones from previous tax years.

Obligations survive exchange closure

The closure of Coss does not eliminate your tax obligations for trades made while the exchange was active. Tax authorities in most jurisdictions can assess back-taxes for unreported gains, often going back several years. If you have not yet declared your Coss trading history, you should file retroactively using your historical CSV data. CoinTracking can generate tax reports for any prior year from your imported data.

Record-keeping with CSV exports

Since Coss is no longer operational, your CSV export file is the primary record of your trading history. Every trade is documented with the date, asset, quantity, cost basis, proceeds, and fees. Importing this data into CoinTracking converts it into a structured tax report with a full audit trail, formatted for your jurisdiction.

Are Coss Transactions Taxable?

In most jurisdictions, crypto is treated as an asset: disposing of it triggers capital gains tax. These rules apply to your historical Coss trading data — even after the exchange has closed. Use this as a starting reference — exact rules vary by country.

Taxable

Taxable Events

  • Selling crypto for fiat (USD, EUR, SGD, etc.)
  • Swapping or trading crypto for crypto
  • Using crypto to pay for goods or services
  • Referral rewards and trading bonuses received
Not taxable

Not Taxable

  • Buying and holding crypto
  • Transferring crypto between your own accounts
  • Depositing fiat to Coss
  • Receiving crypto as a personal gift

Tax treatment varies by country. CoinTracking applies the rules for your selected jurisdiction automatically.

How to Calculate Your Coss Taxes

Even if Coss has closed, you still need to account for every trade you made on the platform. Calculating cost basis, holding periods, and gains for each individual transaction — potentially spanning multiple years — is impractical without automation.

CoinTracking imports your complete Coss trade history via CSV, applies your chosen cost-basis method (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and others), calculates gains and losses for every disposal, and produces a jurisdiction-specific tax report. Historical data from prior tax years is fully supported — you can generate back-tax reports for any year covered by your Coss CSV file.

The result is a tax report — PDF or Excel — that your accountant or tax authority will accept, with a full audit trail for every transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coss Taxes

No. Coss was a Singapore-based crypto exchange that closed in 2020. It did not generate a ready-to-file tax report. If you still have your old Coss CSV export, you can import it into CoinTracking. CoinTracking then calculates gains, losses, and income across your full trading history and generates a compliant tax report for your jurisdiction.

You can still import your historical Coss trading data into CoinTracking using a CSV file. If you exported your trade history from Coss before it closed, navigate to CoinTracking → Import Data → search for "Coss" and upload your CSV file. CoinTracking will parse all your historical trades, deposits, and withdrawals automatically. If you no longer have the CSV file, you may need to check whether your account data is still accessible or contact Coss's administrators.

Yes. Every sale, swap, or disposal of cryptocurrency through Coss is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between your cost basis and the proceeds at the time of each trade. Income received — such as referral rewards — is also typically taxable. These obligations apply even now that Coss has closed: the historical transactions you made on the platform must still be declared for the relevant tax years.

Yes. The closure of Coss does not change your tax obligations for trades executed while the exchange was active. Tax authorities in most jurisdictions require you to report all crypto disposals for the relevant tax years, regardless of whether the exchange still operates. If you have not yet declared your Coss trading history, you should do so retroactively — CoinTracking can process historical CSV data to generate back-tax reports for past years.

Coss was a Singapore-based exchange and was not an EU-regulated CASP, so EU DAC8 reporting rules did not apply. However, depending on its regulatory obligations, Coss may have reported certain user data to Singapore or other relevant tax authorities. Regardless of any exchange-level reporting, you remain personally responsible for declaring your crypto gains, losses, and income from your Coss activity in your annual tax return.

The correct cost-basis method depends on your jurisdiction. In the US, FIFO (First In, First Out) is widely used, though specific identification is also accepted. In Germany, FIFO per wallet is the recognised method; in the UK, HMRC's Section 104 pooling rule applies. CoinTracking supports FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and other methods — you can switch between them and instantly recalculate your Coss tax report to find the most tax-efficient outcome for your situation.
