Using Blockpit to track your crypto asset investments can help you save time and money. By automatically importing your data from Coinbase Pro Exchange, Blockpit can quickly and accurately calculate a fully compliant tax report, giving you the information you need to make the best decisions for your portfolio.
Will Coinbase Pro automatically deduct the tax for me?
Unfortunately, Coinbase Pro currently does not automatically withhold your tax for you. If you transfer and trade between different exchanges or wallets, Coinbase Pro would also have to estimate your acquisition costs. For the correct determination of your taxes, the later proof and the declaration of your taxes at the tax office, a complete and proper documentation of all transactions is therefore essential.
How to import your Coinbase Pro transaction data into Blockpit?
Blockpit uses highly sophisticated API integrations to interpret your Coinbase Pro transaction data and enable an import of multiple Coinbase Pro products in a fully automated way.
