Does Independent Reserve provide tax documents?

Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Independent Reserve is no exception. It's hard for an exchange to build tax logic that serves customers across many jurisdictions. Hence, it's more practical for a customer to use a tax platform like Coinpanda.

How are Independent Reserve transactions taxed?

The exact tax implications on Independent Reserve transactions depend on which country you live in and the type of transactions you have made. In general, you must pay either capital gains tax or income tax on your cryptocurrency transactions on Independent Reserve.

  • Capital gains tax: Whenever you sell a cryptocurrency for more than you purchased it for, you generate a capital gain. On the other hand, if you sell the cryptocurrency for less than you paid initially, you have a capital loss, which can, in most cases, offset other gains.
  • Income tax: Earned cryptocurrency on Independent Reserve, such as staking, interest, bonuses, and referral rewards, is typically treated as taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

To learn more about how Independent Reserve transactions are taxed in your country, we recommend reading our in-depth guides to cryptocurrency taxes.

How to file your Independent Reserve taxes

First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Independent Reserve. When you have this information ready, you can report capital gains and income together with other forms of income, such as employment and dividends, in your annual tax return.

To calculate your capital gains, you must first export a complete history of all transactions made on Independent Reserve. Once you have this data, you can calculate your capital gains or losses by determining the price at which you bought the cryptocurrency (your cost basis) and the price at which you sold it (your proceeds). Luckily, Coinpanda can help you with this and generate ready-to-file tax forms quickly and easily.

After downloading your Independent Reserve tax statements from Coinpanda, the last step is to report the capital gains and income on your tax return before the deadline. Most countries allow you to self-declare taxes online in 2026, but you can also get help from a professional tax accountant to file taxes for you.
