As a BaFin-regulated crypto marketplace, Bitcoin.de qualifies as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under EU law and is subject to DAC8 reporting obligations from 2026. This means your transaction data will be automatically shared with German tax authorities.
CoinTracking supports Bitcoin.de via CSV file upload:

Crypto Tax Basics: What Bitcoin.de Users Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across jurisdictions. These three principles apply broadly to Bitcoin.de 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. For German residents specifically, Bitcoin held for more than one year is entirely tax-free on disposal under the Haltefrist rule.
Bitcoin.de is a BaFin-regulated marketplace — DAC8 applies
As Germany's oldest Bitcoin marketplace and a BaFin-regulated entity, Bitcoin.de qualifies as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under EU law. From 2026, it will be required under the DAC8 directive to automatically report transaction data — including trade volumes, proceeds and user identification — to the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern (German federal tax authority). If you have traded on Bitcoin.de and have not declared all gains, you face increasing risk of tax authority scrutiny.
Records are your responsibility
Bitcoin.de 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 Bitcoin.de transaction you import, and applies the correct cost-basis method for your jurisdiction.

How to Calculate Your Bitcoin.de Taxes
Bitcoin.de'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, calculated with FIFO), and the result is your taxable gain or loss. For German users, the 1-year holding period (Haltefrist) must also be tracked for each individual lot — Bitcoin held longer than one year is entirely tax-free on disposal.
CoinTracking automates this across your full Bitcoin.de history and produces a report your accountant or local tax authority will accept. As Germany's largest Bitcoin marketplace since 2011, Bitcoin.de users may have years of trading history to account for — CoinTracking handles it all.
