What is Phemex?
Phemex is a centralized crypto exchange where users can trade crypto on spot markets and derivatives markets, including contracts with up to 100x leverage. The platform also includes copy trading, trading bots, Launchpad access, and Earn/Lending products, so a single account can generate trades, transfers, rewards, and other tax records. For tax reporting, Phemex users may need a clear record of their crypto activity; this guide shows how to handle that with Coinpanda.

You can easily report your Phemex taxes by connecting your Phemex 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 Phemex.

How to connect Phemex with API
We are only requesting view permissions. This does not give us access to your private keys or the ability to move your funds.
Follow these steps to add your Phemex account to Coinpanda with API:
Ensure that ‘Don’t Bind’ is selected for IP address
Select ‘Read-Only’ for permissions and click ‘Confirm’
Enter your 2FA code when asked
Copy the API Key and API Secret to Coinpanda
Only contract trade history from the past two months can be imported from the API. If you are using API import, you must also upload a CSV file (Closed PNL) to ensure the completeness of your transactions. We recommend disabling the setting for importing contract trades from API in the API modal to avoid duplicate transactions from CSV files.
There are, however, no limitations to deposits, withdrawals, spot trade history, or other non-contract transactions from the API. If you have not traded derivatives on Phemex, you can safely use the API import option, and uploading CSV files is not required.
Please note that Phemex does not provide your investment account balance from API. Only your balance from the spot and contract trading account will be shown in your wallet balance and dashboard.
How to connect Phemex with CSV
Follow these steps to export your transactions from Phemex:
Make sure to export files covering the entire period you traded on Phemex
Upload the CSV file(s) to Coinpanda
You can also click on ‘Generate Spot Trading Report‘, which lets you generate a single report for your entire spot trade history. The same transactions will be imported for both methods.
Make sure to export files covering the entire period you traded on Phemex
Upload the CSV file(s) to Coinpanda
You can also click on ‘Generate Conversions Report‘, which lets you generate a single report for your entire conversion history. The same transactions will be imported for both methods.
Deposits and withdrawals
Hover over ‘Assets’ in the top menu, then click ‘Deposit’
Make sure to export files covering the entire period you traded on Phemex
Repeat the previous step for withdrawals by selecting the ‘Withdraw’ tab
Upload the CSV file(s) to Coinpanda
You can also click on ‘Generate Deposits Report’ and ‘Generate Withdrawals Report‘, which lets you generate a single report for your entire deposit and withdrawal history. The same transactions will be imported for both methods.
Click on the ‘Closed PNL’ tab and then on ‘Export Closed PNL History’
Select ‘Custom (max range 3 months)’
Make sure to export files covering the entire period you traded on Phemex
Upload the CSV file(s) to Coinpanda
You can also click on ‘Generate Contract Trading Closed PNL Report‘, which lets you generate a single report for your entire contract PNL history. The same transactions will be imported for both methods.
Coinpanda will automatically aggregate all Closed PNL transactions for the same contract into a single daily transaction. All fees and funding payments will be saved as a single daily transaction for all different contracts combined.
This avoids importing thousands of small transactions of insignificant value often included in the Phemex CSV files. Using another crypto tax platform, you might see only 100 transactions on Coinpanda instead of 1,000 or 2,000. This makes it easier to verify that transactions are imported correctly and will not affect the resulting gain/loss.
Does Phemex provide tax documents?
Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Phemex 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 Phemex transactions taxed?
The exact tax implications on Phemex 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 Phemex.
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 Phemex, 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 Phemex taxes
First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Phemex. 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 Phemex. 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 Phemex 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.
