What makes crypto bookkeeping so complicated
Crypto holdings are often spread across multiple wallets, exchanges and DeFi protocols. Clear bookkeeping depends on valuing your holdings at the correct reference date, in euros, regardless of what the price does afterwards. Staking, mining and NFTs don't all fall into the same box either, depending on how active and structured the activity is. Without watertight records, it's difficult to determine this value correctly and with proper substantiation.
As a bookkeeper specialising in crypto, we bring structure to data from various wallets, exchanges and DeFi platforms. We process transaction overviews, wallet addresses and valuations at the correct reference date into one complete, verifiable file. We also assess whether it's worthwhile to declare your actual return and provide a substantiated calculation. This reduces the risk of paying too much tax or facing a correction later due to an incomplete return.

Who needs a crypto bookkeeper?
A private investor with a savings portfolio in Bitcoin and Ethereum has different questions to an active trader who opens and closes positions daily. Someone receiving staking or DeFi income faces different considerations to a miner working with their own equipment. And anyone holding crypto through a BV deals with different rules to a private individual in box 3. What these people have in common is the need for a well-substantiated valuation, certainty about the correct box, and bookkeeping that can withstand an audit. We support private investors, active traders and entrepreneurs with crypto activities alike, from your first tax return to a long-standing file.

A bookkeeper for your complete crypto administration
Crypto activity is often spread across various wallets, exchanges and DeFi applications. Each environment records transactions differently, so separate exports don't automatically add up to a complete and reliable picture. We gather the available data, check that it reconciles, and process transactions, balances and valuations into one clear set of records.
For businesses, verifiable bookkeeping is a legal requirement. Private holders also need to be able to correctly report and substantiate their crypto assets in their tax return. We therefore assess how holdings, purchases, sales and proceeds should be treated for tax purposes. We take activities such as staking, mining and NFTs into account based on your personal or business situation. This results in a well-substantiated file that shows how your crypto position developed over the year. You won't get standard processing, but an approach suited to the nature and scale of your activities. Want to know how we can structure your crypto bookkeeping?

We'll answer them.
What does a bookkeeper do for my crypto bookkeeping?
We bring together data from wallets, exchanges and DeFi applications into one verifiable set of records. In doing so, we check transactions, balances, valuations and any missing reconciliations. This creates a complete overview that can be used for your tax return and any questions from the Dutch Tax Authorities. As a bookkeeper specialising in crypto, we make sure not only the year-end position but also the underlying data is carefully recorded.
How do you determine the tax treatment of my crypto?
The tax treatment of crypto depends on how you hold your assets and on the nature and scale of your activities. Privately held crypto usually falls under box 3, while intensive or business-like activity may be assessed differently. If a BV holds the crypto, the assets fall within the company and are not automatically taxed personally under box 2. We assess your situation and ensure it's processed correctly and with proper substantiation in the right tax return.
What is the counter-evidence scheme, and when is it worthwhile?
If your actual return on crypto was lower than the deemed percentage, the counter-evidence scheme lets you pay tax on what you actually earned instead. This requires watertight records of the value on 1 January and 31 December, including unrealised price movements. We calculate whether this scheme works to your advantage and provide the substantiation needed for your tax return.
What information do you need for my crypto bookkeeping?
For complete crypto bookkeeping, we prefer to receive transaction exports from all exchanges and wallets, wallet addresses, annual statements and details of purchases, sales and transfers. Information on staking, mining, DeFi and NFTs is also relevant. We check that balances and transactions reconcile and ask specifically for any missing information. This allows us to build a verifiable file that can be used for bookkeeping, valuation and your tax return.
