The Tax Bill You Did Not See Coming
Your history is scattered across a dozen exchanges and wallets, half with broken export tools, and your DeFi activity lives on-chain where a normal accountant has never looked. So they either refuse the work, charge a fortune and get it wrong, or file a return that quietly omits half your activity. That last one is dangerous: tax authorities across North America, the UK and the EU now receive data straight from the exchanges. They already know what you hold and what you traded. The enforcement is not coming, it is here.
What We Do
You get a written scope of exactly what you need before anyone touches your return, so you walk in knowing the work and a fair price for it. Our fee covers the scoping and the engagement; the accountancy and bookkeeping fees are separate and quoted up front.
Sort Your Crypto Tax
One flat fee to scope your situation and get you into the hands of a specialist crypto accountant who keeps you compliant. The cost of getting this wrong, in penalties and interest, dwarfs it.
What You Actually Get
Straight With You
Some situations are genuinely hard. Six years across fifteen exchanges with no records and three countries' obligations is expensive to reconstruct, and no introduction changes that. But it gets more expensive every year you wait, so the honest move is to deal with it now.
Stop Guessing What You Owe
Your crypto taxes will not sort themselves out, and the records only get harder to reconstruct while the enforcement gets tighter. One flat $399 gets you scoped and into the hands of a specialist crypto accountant who keeps you compliant. Pay in crypto or by card, and get it dealt with before the tax authority deals with it for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I report crypto taxes?
In most jurisdictions crypto is treated as property, so every sale, swap or disposal is a taxable event, and staking, DeFi, airdrops and mining each have their own rules. You need transaction records from every exchange and wallet, a cost-basis calculation for each event, and a correctly reported return. For any active user that means specialist software and a crypto-literate accountant. Spindipper does not file your return; we work with specialist crypto accountants who do and keep you compliant.
Do I need a crypto tax specialist?
If you bought one coin on one exchange and sold some, a general accountant can probably cope. The moment you have multiple exchanges, any DeFi, staking, airdrops, NFTs or cross-chain bridges, you need a specialist with the right tooling. A general accountant listing trades in a spreadsheet will miss things, and missed transactions are what trigger audits. The accountants we work with handle exactly this every day.
How is DeFi taxed?
DeFi is one of the most complex areas in crypto tax and the rules vary by country. Entering and exiting liquidity pools, yield farming rewards, governance tokens and lending interactions can all be taxable events, and there is no exchange summary because it all happens on-chain. Your accountant has to read blockchain data and apply your country's rules. The specialists we work with do DeFi taxation daily.
Do I owe tax on staking rewards?
In most jurisdictions, yes. Staking rewards are usually income at market value on the day you receive them, and later selling the tokens triggers capital gains on any appreciation. Liquid staking, validator versus delegated rewards and lock-ups complicate it, and the rules differ between markets. A specialist will apply the current guidance for your country correctly.
How much does crypto tax cost with Spindipper?
The Spindipper fee is a one-time $399, payable in crypto or by card. That covers the scoping consultation and getting you engaged with the right specialist crypto accountant for your situation. The accountancy and bookkeeping fees are separate and depend on complexity, and we give you a realistic estimate up front so you know what a fair price looks like before you commit.
Can I get in trouble for not reporting crypto taxes?
Yes. Tax authorities across North America, the UK, the EU and beyond now receive trading data directly from major exchanges, and reporting regimes are tightening. Unreported crypto income can mean penalties, interest, amended returns and, in serious cases, prosecution. If you have unreported years the best move is to get ahead of it voluntarily; the specialists we work with handle voluntary disclosure and back-filing.
