CoinJar Taxes: How to Generate Your Crypto Tax Report
CoinJar does not create a tax report for you. Every crypto trade and disposal is a potential tax event you are responsible for declaring. CoinTracking imports your full CoinJar transaction history via CSV export, calculates gains and losses, and generates a tax report ready for your tax authority or accountant.

Start Your Free CoinJar Import- Every crypto trade on CoinJar is a taxable disposal in most jurisdictions. Capital gains tax applies when you sell, swap or spend crypto.
- CoinJar supports CSV export for tax reporting. Download your transaction history from your CoinJar account and upload it to CoinTracking for automatic import and tax calculation.
- Transfers between your own wallets are not taxable events. Buying and holding crypto is not a taxable event.
- CoinJar is an Australian exchange with UK FCA registration — it is not EU-regulated and not subject to DAC8. However, you are still legally required to self-report all crypto gains to your tax authority. Tax enforcement around crypto is growing globally, and undisclosed gains carry increasing risk of penalties.
CoinJar and Your Tax Obligations
CoinJar is an Australian crypto exchange founded in Melbourne in 2013. It holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), making it one of the few exchanges with dual Australian-UK regulatory standing. CoinJar is not an EU-regulated entity and does not fall under DAC8 reporting obligations.
CoinJar does not automatically generate tax reports or report your transactions to tax authorities. All self-reporting obligations remain with you. CoinTracking imports your CoinJar data via CSV and automates the entire calculation process.
CoinTracking supports CoinJar via CSV file upload:
- CoinJar CSV export: downloaded from your CoinJar account transaction history or statements section
- All crypto buy, sell, and swap transactions are supported
- CoinTracking maps CoinJar CSV columns automatically
- Compatible with all CoinJar products including CoinJar Exchange
Crypto Tax Basics: What CoinJar Users Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across jurisdictions. These principles apply broadly to CoinJar users, 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.
CoinJar does not report to your tax authority — but you must
CoinJar is an Australian-based exchange registered with the UK FCA. It is not subject to EU DAC8 reporting obligations. However, this does not reduce your personal tax obligations. Tax authorities worldwide are increasing crypto monitoring through on-chain analysis, exchange data requests, and international information-sharing agreements. Self-reporting remains your legal duty.
Records are your responsibility
CoinJar 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 CoinJar transaction you import.

How to Calculate Your CoinJar Taxes
CoinJar's 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 transaction.
The core calculation is straightforward: take what you received (proceeds), subtract what you paid (cost basis), and the result is your taxable gain or loss. For Australian users, the 12-month CGT discount eligibility must also be tracked for each individual lot. For UK users, HMRC's Section 104 pooling rules apply.
CoinTracking automates this across your full CoinJar history and produces a report your accountant or local tax authority will accept.

In most countries, yes. Every sale, swap, or disposal of cryptocurrency is a taxable event. The gain or loss is the difference between your cost basis and the proceeds at the time of disposal. Tax-free thresholds and holding periods vary by jurisdiction: Germany offers a 1-year exemption, the UK has an annual CGT allowance, and Australia taxes crypto as a capital asset with a 50% CGT discount for assets held over 12 months.
Yes. Your tax obligations are independent of whether an exchange reports to your government. You are legally required to self-report all crypto gains and income in your tax return, regardless of which exchange you use or where it is based. Tax authorities in most countries have expanded crypto monitoring and enforcement — failing to declare is increasingly risky.
