Regional context
Many Latin American countries still do not have specific tax laws for cryptocurrencies and apply general income tax rules. Several also apply the principle of territoriality: they only tax local-source income. Always keep a history of purchases and sales in local currency.
Before filing: have your history in order
The first step to a proper tax declaration is to download the complete transaction history from each platform you use. MiCA-licensed exchanges often provide ready-to-use annual reports, which significantly simplifies the filing process.
