TradeSatoshi Taxes: How to Import Your Historical Data & Generate Your Tax Report

TradeSatoshi and Your Crypto Tax Obligations
TradeSatoshi was an Australian cryptocurrency exchange that operated from 2017, specialising in altcoin trading. It offered a wide range of lesser-known digital assets to traders globally. The exchange closed abruptly in January 2019, but the tax obligations arising from trades executed on the platform remain fully in force for all affected tax years.
As an Australian exchange operating outside the EU, TradeSatoshi was not subject to EU DAC8 reporting requirements. However, depending on applicable regulations, user data may have been reported to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) or other relevant authorities. You remain personally responsible for declaring all taxable events from your TradeSatoshi trading history.
CoinTracking supports TradeSatoshi via CSV import:
- TradeSatoshi CSV: upload your trade history CSV export for a full import of all your trades, deposits, and withdrawals
- All spot trades, altcoin disposals, and deposit/withdrawal history are supported
- Historical data from closed exchanges is fully compatible with CoinTracking\'s tax engine
- Generate back-tax reports for prior years if you have not yet declared your TradeSatoshi activity
Crypto Tax Basics: What TradeSatoshi Users Need to Know
TradeSatoshi served traders across multiple jurisdictions, particularly those interested in altcoin markets. 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). This applies to each individual trade made on TradeSatoshi — even historical ones from previous tax years dating back to 2017.
Obligations survive exchange closure
The closure of TradeSatoshi in January 2019 does not eliminate your tax obligations for trades made while the exchange was active. Tax authorities in most jurisdictions can assess back-taxes for unreported gains, often going back several years. If you have not yet declared your TradeSatoshi trading history, you should file retroactively using your historical CSV data. CoinTracking can generate tax reports for any prior year from your imported data.
Record-keeping with CSV exports
Since TradeSatoshi is no longer operational, your CSV export file is the primary record of your trading history. Every trade is documented with the date, asset, quantity, cost basis, proceeds, and fees. Importing this data into CoinTracking converts it into a structured tax report with a full audit trail, formatted for your jurisdiction.

Are TradeSatoshi Transactions Taxable?
In most jurisdictions, crypto is treated as an asset: disposing of it triggers capital gains tax. These rules apply to your historical TradeSatoshi trading data — even after the exchange closed in January 2019. Use this as a starting reference — exact rules vary by country.
Taxable Events
- Selling crypto for fiat (AUD, EUR, USD, etc.)
- Swapping or trading crypto for crypto (altcoin pairs)
- Using crypto to pay for goods or services
- Referral rewards and trading bonuses received
Not Taxable
- Buying and holding crypto
- Transferring crypto between your own accounts
- Depositing fiat to TradeSatoshi
- Receiving crypto as a personal gift
Tax treatment varies by country. CoinTracking applies the rules for your selected jurisdiction automatically.
How to Calculate Your TradeSatoshi Taxes
Even if TradeSatoshi closed in January 2019, you still need to account for every trade you made on the platform. Calculating cost basis, holding periods, and gains for each individual altcoin transaction — potentially spanning 2017 and 2018 — is impractical without automation.
CoinTracking imports your complete TradeSatoshi trade history via CSV, applies your chosen cost-basis method (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and others), calculates gains and losses for every disposal, and produces a jurisdiction-specific tax report. Historical data from prior tax years is fully supported — you can generate back-tax reports for any year covered by your TradeSatoshi CSV file.
The result is a 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 TradeSatoshi
Tax Report with CoinTracking
Three steps from CSV upload to a tax report your accountant will accept.
Upload your TradeSatoshi CSV
Download your TradeSatoshi trade history CSV and upload it to CoinTracking via the TradeSatoshi import. CoinTracking imports all historical altcoin trades, deposits, and withdrawals 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 — essential for historical data from closed exchanges.
Generate and export your tax report
Select your country and tax year. CoinTracking generates a report formatted for your jurisdiction: PDF or Excel, ready to file or hand to your accountant.
No. TradeSatoshi was an Australian crypto exchange that closed abruptly in January 2019. It did not generate a ready-to-file tax report. If you still have your old TradeSatoshi CSV export, you can import it into CoinTracking. CoinTracking then calculates gains, losses, and income across your full trading history and generates a compliant tax report for your jurisdiction.
You can still import your historical TradeSatoshi trading data into CoinTracking using a CSV file. If you exported your trade history from TradeSatoshi before it closed, navigate to CoinTracking → Import Data → search for "TradeSatoshi" and upload your CSV file. CoinTracking will parse all your historical trades, deposits, and withdrawals automatically. If you no longer have the CSV file, you may need to check if any archived account data remains accessible through TradeSatoshi's administrators.
Yes. Every sale, swap, or disposal of cryptocurrency through TradeSatoshi is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between your cost basis and the proceeds at the time of each trade. Income received — such as referral rewards — is also typically taxable. These obligations apply even now that TradeSatoshi has closed: the historical transactions you made on the platform must still be declared for the relevant tax years.
Yes. The closure of TradeSatoshi in January 2019 does not change your tax obligations for trades executed while the exchange was active. Tax authorities in most jurisdictions require you to report all crypto disposals for the relevant tax years, regardless of whether the exchange still operates. If you have not yet declared your TradeSatoshi trading history, you should do so retroactively — CoinTracking can process historical CSV data to generate back-tax reports for past years.
TradeSatoshi was an Australian exchange and was not an EU-regulated CASP, so EU DAC8 reporting rules did not apply. However, depending on its regulatory obligations, TradeSatoshi may have reported certain user data to Australian tax authorities (the ATO) or other relevant agencies before its closure. Regardless of any exchange-level reporting, you remain personally responsible for declaring your crypto gains, losses, and income from your TradeSatoshi activity in your annual tax return.
The correct cost-basis method depends on your jurisdiction. In Australia, the ATO recommends identifying the specific asset sold where possible, but many traders use FIFO (First In, First Out). In Germany, FIFO per wallet is the recognised method; in the UK, HMRC's Section 104 pooling rule applies. CoinTracking supports FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and other methods — you can switch between them and instantly recalculate your TradeSatoshi tax report to find the most tax-efficient outcome for your situation.
