Bitcoin ATMs in Spain: tax implications

Purchases: NOT taxable. Price paid (including ATM premium of 5-10%) = acquisition cost.

Sales (cash out): Capital gain/loss. Gain = cash received - acquisition cost of sold BTC.

KYC at ATMs: EU ATMs require ID for >€1,000 operations. Data accessible to AEAT.

ATM premium: Part of acquisition cost, not a separate deductible expense.

Recording ATM ops in kointax: Manual entry → date, BTC amount, price paid (€), transaction type.
