Does zkDefi automatically deduct taxes?
No, as of 2024, zkDefi 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, zkDefi might still report your crypto transactions to your country's tax authority if certain criteria are met or if asked.
We highly recommend tracking and reporting all relevant crypto transactions on and off the exchange to prevent audits and fines.
