Do I have to pay taxes when using LOBSTR?
Yes, LOBSTR transactions are considered taxabale events under capital gains tax or income tax in many countries. The tax rates differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and some may even offer tax exemptions based on profit thresholds or holding periods.
Read our crypto tax guides for more information.
Does LOBSTR automatically deduct taxes?
No, as of 2024, LOBSTR does not automatically deduct taxes from crypto trades.
Calculating crypto taxes can be challenging for crypto exchanges, as they do not have any knowledge of your off-exchange transactions on other platforms or wallets and are therefore missing crucial information required to calculate gains, losses and income.
However, LOBSTR might still report your crypto transactions to your country's tax authority, like the IRS or HMRC.
We highly recommend tracking and reporting all relevant crypto transactions on and off the exchange to prevent audits and fines.
