Copy trading in Spain: how to declare

No tax difference — automatic trades on your account are taxable events, same as manual trades.

How it's taxed:

  • Each copied trade = capital gain/loss
  • Profit-sharing fees paid to copied trader = deductible expense

Challenge: Active traders can generate 1000s of operations. All taxable with individual acquisition costs.
