Crypto Airdrop Tax Calculator
Calculate your taxes on airdrops: tokens received for free, retroactive airdrops and distributions.
How are airdrops taxed?
Crypto airdrops are tokens received for free, but they are not tax-exempt. In most European countries, airdrops are treated as income at the time of receipt, valued in euros at the day's exchange rate. In France, the treatment depends on the classification: miscellaneous income or capital gain. Taxes Crypto automatically identifies your airdrops.
Types of airdrops and tax treatment
There are several types of airdrops: free airdrops (received without action), retroactive airdrops (reward for using a protocol), and conditional airdrops (requiring an action like staking). The tax treatment may vary by type. Taxes Crypto automatically categorizes your airdrops to apply the correct treatment.
Airdrop tax return
Taxes Crypto integrates airdrops into your tax report with the euro value at the time of receipt. When selling airdropped tokens, the capital gain is calculated based on this initial value. The report is compatible with all European tax forms.
Frequently asked questions
Are free airdrops taxable?
Yes, in most European countries, airdrops are taxable at the time of receipt. The euro value on the day of receipt constitutes the taxable income, even if you paid nothing to receive them.
What happens if an airdrop has a value of 0 EUR?
If the token has no market value at the time of the airdrop (not listed on an exchange), the taxable income is 0 EUR. When you sell in the future, the entire sale price will be considered a capital gain.
How does Taxes Crypto detect airdrops?
Taxes Crypto analyzes your imported transactions and automatically identifies airdrops by detecting token receipts without consideration. You can also categorize them manually if needed.
