What is Binance?
Binance, established in 2017, quickly ascended to prominence in the cryptocurrency world. It's renowned for being one of the largest and most versatile crypto exchanges globally, offering a wide array of services to users. These services include cryptocurrency trading, digital wallet facilities, and a platform for trading various digital assets.
Does Binance have taxes?
Yes, trading on Binance will for most people trigger taxable events that need to be declared. Binance offers a wide range of crypto services that have different tax consequences and reporting requirements.
There are too many transaction types and countries to cover in this guide, so please check with your specific country's guide on Divly or contact your tax authority for specific questions.
Does Binance report earnings?
Yes it is likely that Binance reports customers crypto activity to select tax authorities. For EU citizens this will become a certainty starting 1st January 2026 due to the new directive called DAC8. Other tax authorities like the HMRC are adopting similar standards that require crypto exchanges to report customer data.
Step 1: How to export your history from Binance
If you are planning to declare you crypto taxes, the first step required is to export your transaction history. Binance allows customers to export data via their API or by downloading a CSV file. We strongly recommend downloading the CSV file as our experience has shown that it is more complete and accurate.
Automatic import
IMPORTANT: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING THE FILE IMPORT. Most issues are solved if you use the file import as it includes all transaction types found on Binance. The Binance API has limitations that restrict the transaction types we can import.
