Calculation Method: Spain strictly requires the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method to calculate gains. When you sell or swap an asset, the law assumes you are selling the oldest units you acquired first.

2 - Holding & Reporting Obligations

Spain has specific forms for reporting assets held abroad and total wealth:

  • Modelo 721 (Mandatory Information Return): You must file this form if you hold more than €50,000 in crypto-assets on foreign platforms as of December 31st. This is an informative declaration, not a tax payment.

  • Wealth Tax (Patrimonio): Crypto-assets are included in your total net wealth. If your total global assets exceed the regional threshold (usually €700,000, though it varies by region), you must pay an annual tax on the total value of your holdings as of December 31st.
