Start Your Free Bitget Import- Every crypto trade and futures settlement on Bitget is a taxable disposal in most EU countries. Capital gains tax applies when you sell, swap or close a position.
- Copy trading profits are taxable — each settled position generates a taxable gain or loss regardless of whether a trade was placed manually or automatically.
- Transfers between your own wallets are not taxable events. Buying crypto with fiat is not a taxable event.
- The Bitget API requires a Passphrase that you set when creating the API key. You will need to enter this Passphrase in CoinTracking alongside your API Key and Secret — make sure to save it securely. Under DAC8, EU exchanges are required to report user data to tax authorities from 2026.

Crypto Tax Basics: What EU Investors Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across EU member states. These three principles apply broadly, but always verify the specifics with your local tax authority or a qualified advisor.
Trading crypto is a taxable disposal
In most EU countries, every sale, swap or closing of a futures position is a taxable event. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between what you paid (cost basis) and what you received. Transfers between your own wallets do not trigger tax.
Copy trading is still taxable
Bitget's copy trading feature automatically replicates trades from other traders. From a tax perspective, each closed copy trade is treated the same as a manually placed trade — each settlement generates a taxable gain or loss that must be reported.
Records are your responsibility
EU crypto exchanges are required under DAC8 to report transaction data to national tax authorities from 2026. Accurate records remain your responsibility. CoinTracking maintains a complete, dated audit trail of every Bitget transaction — including futures PnL, funding fees and copy trading settlements.

How to Calculate Your Bitget Taxes
Bitget users often combine spot trading with futures positions and copy trading — each generating its own stream of taxable events. Copy trading in particular can produce a high volume of settled positions that need to be individually accounted for.
The core calculation is: take what you received (proceeds), subtract what you paid (cost basis, calculated with FIFO), and the result is your taxable gain or loss. For futures and copy trading, each settled position generates a gain or loss based on the PnL at close.
CoinTracking automates this across your full Bitget history and produces a report your accountant or local tax authority will accept.
