π Description
This guide lists the withdrawal labels available on Waltio for Italian users. Each label has a specific tax impact on the LIFO calculation and the taxation of your transactions.
π AP = Acquisition Price
π When a withdrawal neutralizes/impacts the LIFO cost, it is always impacted by the AP of the crypto withdrawn from the LIFO chronological table (= removal of the crypto from the portfolio).
β οΈ Warnings
{% hint style="warning" %}
The calculation method applicable in Italy is LIFO (Last In, First Out).
Only crypto/fiat, goods, services and EMT stablecoin transactions are considered taxable.
All passive crypto transactions (excluding taxable disposals) are integrated into LIFO at an acquisition cost of EUR 0. {% endhint %}
