▶️ If you are a "Good Father", then you don't have to declare your capital gains as miscellaneous income;
▶️ However, if you have made gains from staking or farming, you must declare them as income from capital income 👇
Go to Part 1, then to Box VII; "Income from capital and movable property."
Enter the total amount of interest received during the current tax year (total income received from staking and farming), in field 1444; "b) Other income without withholding tax. 1) taxable at 30%".
❗️ This field shouldn't include any gains or losses from selling crypto. It's only the value of your staking and farming interest. (example: you received 0.02 ETH from your staking. The value of these 0.02 ETH at reception was 25€. If this is your only staking gain for the year, you will have to fill 25€ in the field 1444).
👏 Congratulations, you've reached the end of your reporting for crypto. Fill out the remaining boxes until your report is complete. Once this is complete, you should get the amount of tax due.
