Polkadot (DOT) in Spain: staking and parachain taxes

DOT staking (Nominated PoS): Nominate validators, bond DOT. Rewards every era (~24h) = capital income at market value when claimed.

Parachain crowdloans:

  • Contribute DOT: NOT taxable (not a sale)
  • Win slot → receive project tokens: capital income at market value
  • Lease ends → DOT returned: NOT taxable (loan repayment)

Liquid staking (stDOT, vDOT): Deposit DOT, receive liquid token whose value grows. Difference at withdrawal = capital income.

kointax imports Substrate wallet history and classifies staking/crowdloan events.
