CampBX Taxes: How to Generate Your Crypto Tax Report
CampBX shut down in 2016, but your tax obligations from historical trades don't disappear. CoinTracking imports your CampBX transaction history via CSV export, calculates your gains and losses, and generates a tax report ready for your tax authority or accountant — for any year back to 2011.
How to Import Your CampBX Transactions into CoinTracking
Watch how to upload your CampBX transaction history as a CSV file into CoinTracking to generate your crypto tax report for any historical year.
Start Your Free CampBX Import- Every crypto trade on CampBX was a taxable disposal in most jurisdictions. Capital gains tax applies when you sold or swapped crypto — even years ago.
- CampBX import is CSV only. If you exported your transaction history before the exchange closed in 2016, upload the CSV file directly to CoinTracking.
- Transfers between your own wallets are not taxable events. Buying and holding crypto is not a taxable event.
- CampBX is defunct. The exchange shut down in 2016 and no longer accepts logins or data requests. If you no longer have your CSV export, check old emails, downloads, and cloud backups from 2011–2016. Historical tax obligations for trades made on CampBX remain your responsibility.
CampBX and Your Tax Obligations
CampBX was a US-based Bitcoin exchange founded in 2011, designed to offer a simple way to buy and sell Bitcoin in the United States. The exchange operated until 2016, when it shut down. CampBX was not an EU-regulated exchange and is not subject to DAC8 reporting obligations.
Because CampBX is no longer operating, there is no way to access transaction history directly through the platform. If you have a CSV export from your CampBX account, CoinTracking can import it and calculate your historical gains and losses.
CoinTracking supports CampBX via CSV file upload:
- CampBX CSV export: uploaded from your saved records from when the exchange was active (2011–2016)
- All Bitcoin buy and sell transactions are supported
- CoinTracking maps CampBX CSV columns automatically
- Historical price data is applied automatically to calculate accurate gains and losses
Crypto Tax Basics: What CampBX Users Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across jurisdictions. These three principles apply broadly to CampBX users with historical trades, but always verify the specifics with your local tax authority or a qualified advisor.
Historical trades are still taxable
In most countries, every sale or swap of crypto is a taxable event — including trades made on CampBX years ago. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between what you paid (cost basis) and what you received. The tax year the trade occurred in is what matters, not the current year.
Defunct exchange, ongoing tax responsibility
CampBX shutting down in 2016 does not eliminate your tax reporting obligations. In the US, for example, the IRS has extended statute of limitations for crypto in certain cases, and amended returns can be filed for prior years. In most other countries, undeclared gains from historical crypto trades remain a potential liability. CoinTracking can generate a tax report for any year from 2011 onward.
Records are your responsibility
CampBX never issued formal tax documents, and now that the exchange is closed, no records can be requested. If you have a CSV export, it contains your raw transaction history — not a tax report. CoinTracking converts that historical data into an accurate, jurisdiction-specific tax report. If your records are incomplete, a tax professional can help reconstruct what is needed.

Are CampBX Transactions Taxable?
In most jurisdictions, crypto is treated as an asset: disposing of it can trigger capital gains tax. This applies to historical CampBX trades just as it does to current ones.
Taxable Events
- Selling Bitcoin for fiat (USD, EUR, etc.)
- Swapping crypto for crypto
- Using crypto to pay for goods or services
- Receiving crypto as income or reward
Not Taxable
- Buying and holding Bitcoin
- Transferring crypto between your own wallets
- Depositing fiat to CampBX
- Receiving crypto as a personal gift
Tax treatment varies by country. CoinTracking applies the rules for your selected jurisdiction automatically.
How to Calculate Your CampBX Taxes
Your CampBX CSV export contains your raw trade history — but converting that into an accurate tax report requires calculating cost basis, holding periods and gains for every historical transaction, sometimes going back to 2011.
The core calculation is straightforward: take what you received (proceeds), subtract what you paid (cost basis, calculated with FIFO or your jurisdiction's preferred method), and the result is your taxable gain or loss. For US users, short- and long-term holding periods must also be tracked for each lot.
CoinTracking automates this across your full CampBX history, applies historical Bitcoin prices automatically, and produces a report your accountant or local tax authority will accept — for any year from 2011 to 2016.
