Bitvavo and Your Tax Obligations
Bitvavo is an official exclusive partner of CoinTracking. The Netherlands' leading crypto exchange, Bitvavo is regulated by DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) under EU law and serves millions of European users. This partnership means CoinTracking provides first-class, always up-to-date import support for Bitvavo — making it the preferred choice for CoinTracking users in the Netherlands and across Europe.
Bitvavo does not provide a tax report. Your transaction history must be exported as a CSV or connected via API and imported into CoinTracking to generate a compliant tax report.
CoinTracking supports Bitvavo via CSV file upload and API:
- Bitvavo CSV: exported from your Bitvavo account settings, covering all trades, deposits and withdrawals
- Bitvavo API: connect directly for automatic, ongoing synchronisation of all transactions
- All crypto buy, sell, deposit and withdrawal transactions are supported
- CoinTracking maps Bitvavo data automatically and applies DAC8-aware reporting
Crypto Tax Basics: What Bitvavo Users Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across jurisdictions. These three principles apply broadly to Bitvavo users in Europe, but always verify the specifics with your local tax authority or a qualified advisor.
Trading crypto is a taxable disposal
In most countries, every sale, swap or use of crypto 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.
Bitvavo is an EU-regulated exchange — DAC8 applies
As a DNB-regulated Dutch exchange, Bitvavo qualifies as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under EU law. From 2026, it is required under the DAC8 directive to automatically report transaction data to Dutch and other EU tax authorities. If you have traded on Bitvavo and have not declared all gains, you face increasing risk of scrutiny from your national tax office.
Records are your responsibility
Bitvavo does not issue formal tax documents. The CSV export is a raw transaction history — not a tax report. Accurate records of every trade, date, cost and proceeds remain your responsibility. CoinTracking maintains a complete, dated audit trail of every Bitvavo transaction you import.

How to Calculate Your Bitvavo Taxes
Bitvavo's CSV export or API connection gives you your raw transaction history — but converting that into an accurate tax report requires calculating cost basis, holding periods and gains for every trade.
The core calculation is straightforward: take what you received (proceeds), subtract what you paid (cost basis, calculated with FIFO), and the result is your taxable gain or loss. For German users, the 1-year holding period must also be tracked for each individual lot.
As an exclusive CoinTracking partner, Bitvavo users benefit from optimised import support — CoinTracking automates the entire calculation and produces a DAC8-aware report your accountant or local tax authority will accept.
