๐Ÿ“ Description

The savings tax base in Spain includes capital income and capital gains derived from the transfer of crypto assets. This article explains what income you must declare in this category, such as staking gains, liquidity pools, lending income, and crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat transactions. In this article, we will show you the income you need to declare in the Savings Tax Base.

Several transactions fall into this category:

๐Ÿ“‚ Savings Tax Base

  • Income from capital

  • Capital gains and losses that (YES) derive from transfers

๐Ÿ“‚ Capital Income:

This category refers to income considered as "rewards" for an action performed or as passive income:

  • Staking gains;

  • Liquidity pool gains;

  • Lending gains.

๐Ÿ“‚ Capital Gains and Losses That (YES) Derive from Transfers

This category refers to exchanges between cryptocurrencies as well as to sales transactions.

In Spain, transactions between cryptocurrencies are subject to tax and the capital gain must be calculated for each transaction. Sales transactions of stablecoins and crypto-euros are also taxed.

  • Crypto-to-crypto transaction

Buying a cryptocurrency with fiat currency is not a taxable transaction.
