Germany - Holding >1 year but not treated as tax free

Hi Koinly,
I have my settings set to Germany, but I have multiple trades where the tax report shows me a capital gains, If I dig into the cost analysis it does show me that the asset was hold >365 days but it does not consider the 1 year tax free :frowning:

For Germany as a private person crypto hold >365 days should be treated tax free

Hi @Riki_Maru

You will see gains/losses on all transactions including the long-term held tokens on the Transactions page, but the report you generate (Complete Tax report) divides your gains/losses into short-term and long-term so that you can only use the short-term figures to file your taxes.

Im sorry but the answer makes no sense right. You see that the token was hold 1401 days and thus there should be no taxable gain on the Complete tax report, but it shows up as a gain in the complete tax report. As in your article:
“Tax free: long-term profits from selling, swapping, or spending crypto you’ve held for more than one year,”

The report shows this as a long-term gain. You will only use the short-term gains to file your taxes.
