Tax and Gain Calculation
TL;DR:
CoinTracking calculates capital gains and losses by default. Advanced tax calculation can be enabled once via a URL parameter.
How does tax and gain calculation work in CoinTracking?
CoinTracking is designed to calculate and track capital gains and losses.
Since tax rates vary significantly across countries, the system does not automatically display the final tax liability.
Advanced tax settings can be activated manually for many countries.
How do I activate the advanced tax settings?
To make the advanced tax settings visible, you must append the following parameter to the browser URL one time:
?tax_calculation=on
This activation only needs to be done once.
The setting is saved within your account and remains active for future sessions without modifying the URL again.
Which configuration options are available after activation?
Once unlocked, the following options are available:
Predefined Tax Rates
Select from tax rates already stored in the system for specific countries.Custom Tax Rate
Manually enter your individual tax rate.Long-Term vs. Short-Term Functionality

In many countries, assets may be sold tax-free or at a reduced rate after a defined holding period (e.g., one year).
Are there regional restrictions?
Yes.
Integrated tax calculation via this function is not available for certain countries. This is typically due to complex national tax regulations or specialized flat-tax systems.
The feature cannot be used in the following countries:
United Kingdom
Canada
Australia
Finland
Denmark
Belgium

Summary
CoinTracking calculates capital gains and losses by default. By adding the parameter ?tax_calculation=on once to the URL, advanced tax settings can be enabled. However, this functionality is not available in all countries.
