Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new tax tool providing crypto investors information on the taxes associated with their trading activities in preparation for the incoming tax season.

Binance Launches Tax Tool

On Monday, February 6th, Binance announced the launch of Binance Tax. This crypto tax calculator generates an estimate of a trader’s tax obligations based on their activities and depending on their jurisdiction.

According to the report, the Binance Tax tool will allow users to download a report showing a tax summary of all the gains and losses they made trading with Binance. Some transactions include spot trades, crypto donations, and blockchain fork rewards.

To access your tax records, log in to the Binance Tax platform with your Binance account details. Select ‘Realized Capital Gains,’ ‘Income Gains,’ or ‘Transactions,’ and the tool will generate a downloadable tax report showing a breakdown of your gains and losses.

Binance Plans on Expanding

Binance has said the tool is only in its early phases and undergoing a pilot launch in France and Canada. The Binance team assured users that they are working to implement support for more regions soon.

In addition, the team will also add other transaction types currently not covered by the app in the future. The Binance Tax tool will integrate support for other networks and wallets outside Binance as it evolves.

Why Investors Look Forward to the Launch of Binance Tax

The launch of Binance Tax is in response to the growing demand from customers to have an easy-to-use tool to understand their tax liability on the platform.
