Polkadot (DOT) and Kusama (KSM) in Spain: taxes

DOT staking: ~365 payouts/year (each era). Each = capital income at market value when received. High volume of micro-payments to track.

Parachain crowdloans:

  • Lending DOT = not taxable (you remain owner)
  • Recovering DOT = not taxable
  • Tokens received as reward = capital income
  • Project failure/DOT not recovered = capital loss

Unbonding period (28 days): No special tax implications.
