Perpetual futures in crypto in Spain: taxation

PnL treatment: Realized PnL = capital gain/loss (base del ahorro, 19-28%). No specific AEAT ruling, but widely accepted among tax advisors.

Funding rate: Integrated into overall position PnL, treated as part of capital gain/loss (either received or paid).

Liquidation: Position liquidation = capital loss equal to collateral lost.

Decentralized perpetuals (dYdX, GMX): Realized PnL = capital gain/loss. Governance token rewards (GLP fees) = capital income.

kointax imports futures history from Binance, Bybit, OKX and calculates realized PnL.
