Got losses? Here’s how to use them to cut your tax bill

在经历了2022年的疯狂行情波动之后,许多加密货币投资者可能都遭受到了损失,而且是很大的亏损。幸运的是,随着我们渐渐走出加密货币寒冬,您的税务账单似乎也出现了一丝希望之光,加密货币税费计算器Koinly解释了这个领域的一些布局。

在经历了一个残酷的寒冬之后,加密货币投资者开始看到隧道尽头的光明,自2022年的历史高点以来,加密货币市场市值下跌约2万亿美元,这甚至还没有考虑到交易所崩盘、黑客攻击以及其他骗局造成的数十亿美元损失。综上所述,如果您也蒙受损失,说明您并不是唯一一个。

但当谈论到您的加密货币税务账单时,可能还会有一丝希望。这就是为什么我们与加密货币税务计算服务商Koinly合作,告诉您所需要知道的一切。

资本收益与损失

首先,你需要了解资本的收益或损失具体是什么原理。

显而易见,世界各地的加密货币的税务政策各不相同,所以您应该时刻了解所在地的税务政,Koinly拥有全球范围内20套guides加密货币税务政策及指南来帮助您。

一般来说,世界各地的大多数税务部门都将加密货币视为一种资产,就像房产或股票一样。您在任何时候处置财产,即通过出售,交易,花费,甚至是赠送(取决于您的所在地),您都是实现资本的收益或损失。

您将需要为资本性的获利进行纳税,而资本带来的损失可以抵消收益,以减少您的税负,让我们来看看如何最好地利用损失来降低您的税负。

Track, harvest & offset losses

利用损失来降低您的的税负有三个步骤:

  1. 追踪未实现的损失
  2. 获得损失
  3. 抵销您的损失

1. 追踪未实现损失

聪明的投资者同时追踪好与坏的结果,以帮助他们了解整个投资组合的表现。

您完全也不需要用电子表格来完成这件事,您可以使用像Koinly这样的加密货币投资组合追踪器来帮助您追踪整个投资的表现以及个人投资组合的表现。

这可以帮助您了解可以何处以及何时获取利润或降低损失,因为您的投资组合跟踪器可以跟踪您的已实现收益和未实现收益或损失。

一旦你发现了一个未实现的损失,你需要获得这个损失。

2. 损失的获得

一旦您发现了未实现的损失,下一步就是获得这个损失,这部分很关键,因为从税收的角度来看,未实现损失是毫无价值的,您需要通过处置你的资产来实现您的损失,以便能够抵消您的收益。

一般来说,您可以通过出售、交易或花费您的加密货币来实现损失,尽管一些国家也将赠送加密货币视为一种处置方式。

当然,有时候出售资产说起来容易做起来难。在某些情况下,处置您的加密货币并不是那么简单,例如,"Rug-pulled"代币,流动性不强的NFT,冻结在交易所的资金,以及盗窃案件造成的损失等等,让我们快速看一看,您可以如何处理这些潜在的损失:

  • "Rug-pulled"代币: 现在市面上充斥着大量毫无价值的代币,但在您处理掉这些代币之前,这就是一项未实现的损失,您处置这些代币的难易程度取决于市场的流动性。如果您可以出售你的代币,即使没能卖出多少钱,也要这样做。如果您无法出售这些代币,也可以看看是否可以用一个本地的非托管钱包进行交易。再强调一次,即使这些是几乎毫无价值的代币,这仍然可以帮助您实现您的损失。如果上述两种方法都没有用,您也可以发送这些低价值代币到燃烧地址进行销毁,这也是另一种处理方法。如果您不在美国,你也可以通过赠送代币来弥补损失。
  • 流动性较差的NFT: 流动性较差的NFT提供了一个巨大的税收损失补偿机会,您只需要对这些资产进行处置,就像上面提到的,最简单的方法就是卖掉这些NFT,即使卖不出什么钱。如果您无法卖出这些NFT,则发送这些NFT到区块链的燃烧地址对其进行焚烧,以实现您损失。
  • 冻结在交易所中的资金: 不幸的是,如果您在FTX、Celsius或Voyager等现已崩盘的交易所中拥有数百万,很不幸,您几乎无法实现这部分的损失。最好的办法是按兵不动,等待破产程序结束,同时也不要失去希望,作为破产程序的一部分,许多投资者终于启动了索赔程序,至少也有希望很快就可以回收部分资金。
  • 盗窃事件造成的损失: 对美国投资者来说这是个坏消息,美国国税局表示,盗窃形成的损失不是资本性损失,除非与联邦灾难有关。然而,对于世界各地的其他投资者来说,澳大利亚、加拿大和英国等许多国家允许投资者提出因盗窃而造成的资本损失进行索赔,但需要足够的证据。

3. 抵销损失

Depending on where you live, you’ll have to follow slightly different rules when offsetting your capital losses. But here are the basics:

  • For most countries, there’s no limit to the number of losses you can offset against gains, except in countries where you only pay tax on a certain percentage of your gains. For example, in Canada, as you only pay tax on half of any capital gain, you can similarly only offset half of any loss.
  • Got no gains? You can usually carry losses forward to offset against gains in the future - but you may need to register these with your tax office in order to do this.
  • Generally, you can only offset losses against gains of a similar nature - so for example, you can’t usually offset losses against income. Although there are a couple of exceptions to this, like the IRS allows taxpayers to offset $3,000 in capital losses against ordinary income each year.
  • Thinking of just selling all your crypto at a loss and buying it back? Most tax offices have rules to stop you from doing this known as wash sale rules. Wash sale rules vary from country to country, but they all prevent investors from selling an asset at a loss and re-acquiring that same asset back in a short time frame. If you have a wash sale, you can’t offset this loss against gains. Although there are some exceptions to this - for example, in the US, the wash sale rule doesn’t yet apply to crypto.
