How do I import my liquidity pool/mining transactions into Cointracking?
As in the title, I have many DeFi transactions in my wallets and CT identifies them as "Other fee"(taxable). I'd like to have them as non-taxable events. What can I do?

Hi Wiebke,
Per default, the liquidity pool transactions will be imported as taxable events; see (A). You can enable the slider "Import liquidity pool transactions as non-taxable" to get those transactions imported as non-taxable events; see (B).
Please note that the following blockchain importers are covered by this article: AVAX, ETH, BSC, LUNA, MATIC, FTM, TRX, We are working to cover the other blockchain and you can submit your feature request in the General section of the Forum.
(A) - Import as taxable events
We split liquidity mining into two operations. In the first process, liquidity is provided and you receive an LP token. In the second process, the LP token is exchanged back for the coin pair and the rewards are claimed.
1) Providing liquidity - funds are added to the liquidity pool
2) Removing liquidity and claiming rewards - funds are removed from the liquidity pool
How are those steps imported into CoinTracking?
1) Providing liquidity
Transactions imported into CoinTracking
Tax implication & transaction details
Coins are exchanged for a token that corresponds to the value of the coins. This is equivalent to a sale and a taxable event occurs.
*Please be aware that the asset values will only be transferred, when using our blockchain importers
*Please assign an asset value manually if needed e.g. as described here
2. Removing liquidity and claiming rewards
Transactions imported into CoinTracking
Tax implication & transaction details
The initially provided coins are bought back with the liquidity token. The value of the liquidity token may have increased due to the asset values it holds and the rewards claimed. This increase will be handled as a sale and therefore as a taxable event.

Depending on the country you are taxable in, there may be other rules already in place. Please always discuss the tax treatment with your tax advisor.
