What is Tax Reporting?

The process of declaring income, capital gains, or losses to government tax authorities. Lygos Finance helps clients optimize their tax reporting by providing structured $50K-$50M loans; borrowing against Bitcoin via a DLC is typically not a taxable event, unlike selling.

Full Definition

Tax reporting in cryptocurrency involves tracking all taxable events, such as selling an asset, trading one crypto for another, or earning yield. Proper documentation prevents legal penalties and audits. Because tax treatments vary by jurisdiction, institutional players must provide accurate statements to help clients manage their liabilities.
