Recap has a comprehensive integration with [Poloniex](https://poloniex.com/) that makes it easy to manage your **crypto tax calculations**.

You can also share your Recap account with your accountant or tax adviser directly. ## Why Poloniex tax can be difficult to calculate manually Poloniex is one of the longer-running exchanges and it has always leaned towards active, altcoin-heavy trading. That is exactly what makes its tax position hard to pin down by hand. A few things tend to trip people up: - **A deep, long history.** Accounts can go back many years across a wide range of assets, and every disposal is measured against a cost-basis pool built from that entire record. - **Heavy crypto-to-crypto trading.** Poloniex is built around coin-for-coin pairs, and each of those trades is a disposal even though no ordinary money changes hands. - **Staking and earn rewards.** Rewards are generally treated as income, valued at the moment you receive each one, and they arrive as a steady drip that is easy to overlook. - **Old and delisted assets.** A long-standing account can hold coins that were later delisted or renamed, which makes an accurate cost history harder to rebuild from exports by hand. ## How to import your Poloniex data into Recap Connect your Poloniex account to Recap by API and we import your full history automatically, including trades, staking and earn rewards, deposits and withdrawals, however far back your account goes. Recap classifies and values every entry with our fair-market valuation engine and applies the tax rules for your jurisdiction, separating what is income from what is a capital gain.

Here is how the main Poloniex activities are generally treated: This table shows Recap's default classification for common Poloniex transactions. It is not an exhaustive schedule or a ruling. Treatment depends on your circumstances and jurisdiction, and you can recategorise any transaction where yours differ. Confirm your position with a qualified tax adviser. Selling crypto for fiat is a disposal for capital gains purposes, and swapping one crypto asset for another is both a disposal of the coin you part with and an acquisition of the coin you receive, each measured against your cost-basis pool. Staking and earn rewards are generally treated as income at the value you receive them, and that same value enters your cost-basis pool, so only later growth is a gain. Transfers between your own accounts are not disposals. Refer to our [tax guides](https://recap.io/guides/crypto-tax-uk-a-comprehensive-guide) for a more detailed look at crypto tax rules. ## What's in your Poloniex tax report Recap turns your full Poloniex history into a single tax report: capital gains, losses and income worked out under the rules for your jurisdiction, high-volume and crypto-to-crypto trading pooled correctly, staking and earn rewards valued on the day they arrived, and a clear year-by-year summary you can file yourself or hand straight to your accountant. ## Common Poloniex tax challenges and how Recap solves them Poloniex accounts produce a few recurring tax problems, especially older and active ones. Here is how Recap handles each one: - **A long, deep history.** Years of activity across many assets are slow to reconstruct. Recap imports the whole record and pools every disposal into a single cost-basis position. - **Crypto-to-crypto trades.** Coin-for-coin trades are disposals, not simple swaps. Recap calculates the gain or loss on each one automatically. - **Staking and earn rewards.** Rewards land as many small income events. Recap values each one at the point you receive it, so none are missed. - **Delisted or renamed coins.** Old assets can be hard to track by hand. Recap identifies and values them so your cost history stays accurate. ## Why Poloniex users choose Recap Poloniex users often choose Recap because a long-running, altcoin-heavy account carries a lot of tax to track: years of coin-for-coin trades, staking and earn rewards as income, and older assets on top. Rather than rebuilding all of that by hand, you can connect by API and see your gains, losses and income reconciled in one report, ready to file or share with your accountant. Whether Poloniex shares account data with HMRC is a separate question, and we answer it in [does Poloniex report to HMRC](https://recap.io/blog/does-poloniex-report-to-hmrc). ## FAQs ### Is Poloniex taxable? In most jurisdictions, yes. Disposals such as selling crypto or swapping one coin for another are typically taxed as capital gains, while staking and earn rewards are typically taxed as income. The exact rules depend on where you are tax resident, and Recap classifies and values your transactions so you can see what applies. ### Can I import Poloniex into Recap using an API? Yes. You connect your Poloniex account to Recap by API to import your full history automatically, and Recap then classifies and values every transaction, including trades, staking and earn rewards, deposits and withdrawals. ### How are Poloniex staking and earn rewards taxed? They are generally treated as income at their value on the day you receive them, with any later disposal of those coins also potentially creating a capital gain. The precise treatment depends on your jurisdiction, and Recap values each reward for you. ### Does Recap handle a long Poloniex trading history? Yes. Recap is built to import and reconcile long, high-volume histories, calculating the gain or loss on every disposal so even a years-old, active account resolves into one clear tax position. ### What about coins that Poloniex later delisted? Recap identifies and values older or delisted assets from your history so they are still reflected in your cost basis and any disposals are calculated correctly. --- Canonical HTML: https://recap.io/integrations/poloniex Site map: https://recap.io/sitemap.xml ยท AI manifest: https://recap.io/llms.txt Any page listed above is available as Markdown by appending `.md`, or by sending `Accept: text/markdown`.
