Gains and Wealth: two distinct obligations
The first obligation is to declare realized gains and losses during the year at a rate of 22%. The second is to declare the market value of your portfolio on December 31, which is added to your net wealth and may generate formuesskatt if you exceed the tax-exempt minimum.
Skatteetaten publishes reference exchange rates annually but accepts the value from the exchange where you operate, provided it is consistent and documented.
Documentation worth keeping
Keep full statements from each platform, your wallet addresses, and proof of transfers between your own wallets. Internal transfers are not taxed, but without documentation, they can be interpreted as sales.
Losses from hacks or failed projects may be deductible if you can prove definitive loss of control over the assets.
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.
