Yes, it’s another step forward on behalf of the Ministry of Finance towards squeezing people even further. I figure that the documentation requirement should allow then to perform their inner studies on how to apply taxes in the near future with further control over the crypto operations people perform.
Currently, people should declare if they’ve made gains (or loses) as a result of purchasing and selling crypto-assets, just as one would need to do if they traded in the stock markets. The thing is that keeping track of purchase price and sell price on a rather dynamic portafolio of all transactions is not an easy feat, but necessary to manage to calculate the net result.
There are unclear rules as of now regarding how to declare these crypto assets. The current basic rule of thumb is that if FIAT conversion is involved in the selling process, then benefits (or loses) should be declared. Where everything is blurry is trying to understand what to do if you have purchased crypto, sold it to buy other cryptos on the market, but still haven´t got back to converting any of it to FIAT.
Regardless, this year’s tax campaign has just started in Spain, so whatever they are doing now is probably headed to tighten the noose around the taxpayer in the coming fiscal years.
