Connect your account in seconds for a secure, read-only sync. Recap has a comprehensive integration with [VALR](https://www.valr.com/) that makes it easy to manage your **crypto tax calculations**. Connect your VALR account to Recap to import your full history and **automate your taxes**. From 2026, tax authorities are widening the automatic reporting of crypto under frameworks such as the OECD's Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF), so keeping an accurate record matters more than ever. > **Disclaimer** > > The information provided in this content does not endorse VALR. Furthermore, it does not constitute tax advice. If you are uncertain about any financial or tax-related matters, we strongly recommend seeking guidance from a qualified tax professional. You can also share your Recap account with your accountant or tax adviser directly. ## Why VALR tax can be difficult to calculate manually VALR combines simple buying, active trading and staking rewards, and that mix is what makes its tax position harder to pin down than it first looks. A few things tend to trip people up: ### Income events and disposals - **Staking rewards land as income.** Rewards are treated as income at their value on the day you receive them, and that value also becomes their cost basis, so only later growth counts as a gain. They arrive as a steady drip that is easy to leave in the account and overlook. - **Crypto-to-crypto trades are disposals.** Swapping one asset for another is a disposal even though no ordinary money changes hands, and it is easy to treat as a simple switch. ### Trading volume and history - **Active trading volume.** Frequent traders build up many buys and sells, and every disposal is measured against a cost-basis pool built from the whole history. - **A long, multi-asset history.** Buys, sells, trades and rewards can stretch back across many assets, which makes an accurate cost basis hard to rebuild from exports by hand. ## How to import your VALR data into Recap Connect your VALR account to Recap by API and we import your full history automatically, including trades, staking 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 VALR activities are generally treated: ### Default treatment by transaction type This table shows Recap's default classification for common VALR 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, while swapping one crypto asset for another is both a disposal of what you give up and an acquisition of what you receive, each measured against your cost-basis pool. Staking rewards are treated as income at their value on the day you receive them, and that same value becomes their cost basis, so only later growth shows up as a capital 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 VALR tax report Recap turns your full VALR history into a single tax report: capital gains, losses and income worked out under the rules for your jurisdiction, high-volume trading pooled correctly, staking 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 VALR tax challenges and how Recap solves them VALR accounts produce a few recurring tax problems. Here is how Recap handles each one: ### How Recap handles income and disposals - **Staking rewards as income.** Rewards land as many small income events. Recap values each one at the point you receive it, so none are missed. - **Crypto-to-crypto trades.** Coin-for-coin trades are disposals, not simple swaps. Recap calculates the gain or loss on each one automatically. ### How Recap handles volume and history - **Active trading volume.** Many trades are slow to reconstruct by hand. Recap imports the whole history and reconciles every disposal. - **A long, multi-asset history.** Years of activity across many assets are slow to rebuild. Recap pools every disposal into a single cost-basis position. ## Why VALR users choose Recap VALR users often choose Recap because simple buys, active trades and staking rewards each need handling differently for tax, which is painful to reconcile by hand. Rather than piecing it together, you can connect by API and see your gains, losses and income reconciled in one report, ready to file or share with your accountant. ## FAQs ### Is VALR taxable? In most jurisdictions, yes. Disposals such as selling crypto or swapping one asset for another are typically taxed as capital gains, while staking 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 VALR into Recap using an API? Yes. You connect your VALR account to Recap by API to import your full history automatically, and Recap then classifies and values every transaction, including trades, staking rewards, deposits and withdrawals. ### How are VALR staking 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 active trading on VALR? Yes. Recap is built to import and reconcile high-volume histories, calculating the gain or loss on every disposal so an active account resolves into one clear tax position. ### Are crypto-to-crypto trades on VALR taxable? Usually yes. Swapping one asset for another is a disposal of the first for capital gains purposes, even though no ordinary money changes hands. Recap treats each one as a disposal so your gains and losses are captured. --- Canonical HTML: https://recap.io/integrations/valr 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`.
