How to Report Your Luno Taxes in 2026

What is Luno?

Luno is a centralized crypto exchange and wallet app where users can buy, sell, send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies, with local currency deposits and withdrawals available in its supported markets. The app also includes an exchange view for placing trades, along with features such as price alerts and staking in certain countries. For tax reporting, Luno users may need a clear record of their transactions, and this guide explains how to handle that with Coinpanda.

How to do your Luno taxes

You can easily report your Luno taxes by connecting your Luno account to Coinpanda using the API or by uploading a CSV file. Coinpanda automatically imports your transactions, calculates your capital gains and income, and generates ready-to-file tax reports for Luno.

Does Luno provide tax documents?

Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Luno 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 Luno transactions taxed?

The exact tax implications on Luno 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 Luno.

• 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 Luno, such as staking, interest, bonuses, and referral rewards, is typically treated as taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

How to file your Luno taxes

First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Luno. 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 Luno. 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 Luno 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.

How do I troubleshoot the imported Luno transactions to Coinpanda?

While we strive every day to ensure the highest possible accuracy when importing transactions from Luno to Coinpanda, it may happen that not all transactions are imported or that some data is imported incorrectly. Some reasons for this can be:

• Changes in the Luno API
• Updated CSV file format
• Luno does not provide a complete record of all transactions

To get the best help from Coinpanda support, you must first identify which transactions are missing or incorrectly imported.
