Chainlink (LINK) staking in Spain: taxes

How it works: Lock LINK in Chainlink staking contract. Receive LINK rewards. Unbonding period to withdraw.

Tax treatment:

  • Deposit LINK to stake: NOT taxable
  • Rewards received: capital income at LINK price when received/claimed
  • Withdraw LINK at end: NOT taxable (return of deposit)

Acquisition cost of reward LINK: LINK price at receipt. When sold: gain/loss = sale price - acquisition cost.

kointax connects to Ethereum wallet and imports LINK staking reward history.
