Crypto Tax Basics: What DFX.swiss Users Need to Know
DFX.swiss serves traders and investors across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and other countries. 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). Switzerland is an exception: private investors are generally not subject to capital gains tax, but professional traders are.
Swiss Vermögenssteuer (wealth tax)
Swiss residents must declare crypto holdings as part of their annual Vermögenssteuererklärung (wealth tax return). The cantonal tax authority taxes the year-end market value of your holdings. The ESTV (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung) publishes an official Kursliste — a list of approved year-end values for common cryptocurrencies — which must be used for wealth tax declarations. CoinTracking tracks your DFX.swiss holdings and generates a wealth-tax-ready report for Swiss users.
Record-keeping requirements
Accurate record-keeping is essential regardless of your jurisdiction. Every transaction should be documented with the date, asset, quantity, cost basis, proceeds, and applicable fees. DFX.swiss provides API access to your history — but the raw data must be converted into a structured tax report. CoinTracking maintains a complete, dated audit trail of every DFX.swiss transaction you import and produces reports formatted for your jurisdiction.

How to Calculate Your DFX.swiss Taxes
DFX.swiss users often hold crypto across multiple wallets and exchanges — especially those drawn to its non-custodial approach. Tracking every purchase, sale, and swap across your full history to calculate accurate cost basis and holding periods is time-consuming and error-prone without dedicated software.
CoinTracking connects to DFX.swiss via API, imports your complete transaction history automatically, applies your chosen cost-basis method (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and others), and calculates gains and losses for every disposal. Swiss users also benefit from a wealth-tax-ready holdings report showing year-end balances at official ESTV values.
The result is a jurisdiction-specific tax report — PDF or Excel — that your accountant or tax authority will accept, with a full audit trail for every transaction.

How to Create Your DFX.swiss
Tax Report with CoinTracking
Three steps from API connection to a tax report your accountant will accept.
Import your DFX.swiss transactions
Generate your API Key in the DFX App under Buy, Sell & Staking → Transaction-History → Generate API-Key. Enter your Key and Secret in CoinTracking to import your complete transaction history automatically.
Review your transactions
Open Reports → Validate Transactions. CoinTracking flags missing cost basis entries, duplicate imports and price gaps so your final report is accurate — especially important for long transaction histories spanning multiple years.

No. DFX.swiss does not generate a ready-to-file tax report. It provides API access to your transaction history, which you can connect to CoinTracking. CoinTracking then calculates gains, losses, and income across all your DFX.swiss trades and generates a compliant tax report for your jurisdiction.
Open the DFX App and tap Buy, Sell & Staking. Scroll down on the payment page and tap the Transaction-History button. Tap Generate API-Key to create your API Key and API Secret. Copy both values and paste them into CoinTracking's DFX.swiss import page. CoinTracking will automatically import your full transaction history.
That depends on your country of residence. In Switzerland, capital gains from crypto are generally tax-free for private investors, but holdings are subject to wealth tax. In Germany and Austria, disposal of crypto triggers capital gains tax. In most jurisdictions, selling or swapping cryptocurrency creates a taxable event. CoinTracking applies the correct rules for your selected jurisdiction automatically.
No. DFX.swiss is a Swiss company and Switzerland is not an EU member state. The EU's DAC8 Directive — which requires crypto exchanges to report user transaction data to EU tax authorities — does not directly apply to DFX.swiss. However, you remain responsible for declaring your crypto gains and income in your own country. Tax compliance is your obligation regardless of whether your exchange reports to authorities.
In Switzerland, capital gains from crypto are generally tax-free for private investors. However, crypto holdings are subject to Vermögenssteuer (wealth tax) at cantonal rates, based on the market value at year-end. Professional traders or those earning crypto as business income are taxed differently. The ESTV (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung) publishes annual fair market values (Kursliste) for declared holdings. CoinTracking tracks your DFX.swiss history and produces a report aligned with Swiss tax requirements.
Yes. CoinTracking connects to DFX.swiss via API and imports your complete transaction history automatically — including spot purchases, sales, and swaps. Once imported, CoinTracking calculates your cost basis and gains using your chosen method (FIFO and others) and generates a tax report formatted for your jurisdiction. Swiss users benefit from wealth-tax reporting; German and Austrian users get the Anlage SO and relevant reports.
