What the tax authority typically requests
The letter is a request for information, not a criminal proceeding. What gets requested barely changes from case to case.
The official inquiry letter
The tax authority’s formal request about your crypto, in Austria an Ergänzungsersuchen, in Germany an Auskunftsersuchen. The deadline is typically two to four weeks, an extension is usually granted.
How to answer the inquiry 02_QUESTIONSThe six-question catalog
Platforms, wallets, the amount of income, all documents, all electronic data, the exact calculation. TX-Partner knows the catalog from real letters.
All six questions in detailTax report from the tax tool
Letters name Blockpit and CoinTracking reports directly. If the report shows warnings, the tax authority sees the same notices.
Wallet addresses and platforms
Every address with its chain, and every trading platform ever used. Both can be reconciled against blockchain data.
Exchange exports
CSV exports from every exchange used, over the full period. They serve to verify the tax report.
Holding period per position sold
Newer letters ask for a transaction log that shows the holding period of each position sold. That requires a lot-level match of purchase to sale.
Where the answer gets stuck
An inquiry rarely meets a perfectly documented portfolio. What is asked for is data, not a valuation: the complete history, every platform, every wallet. That is what the answer hangs on.
Incomplete history
Old exchanges, wallets or DeFi are missing. What is not imported is not in the report, and not in the answer to the tax authority either.
Nothing documented yet
No tool setup, no history, just years of transactions. The reconstruction starts at the first source, not at the last year.
Warnings in the tax report
The tax authority can run the raw data through the same tax tools. If your own data is unpaired, a different result can come out there.
The deadline is running
Two to four weeks is usual, and your tax advisory requests the extension. The bottleneck is rarely the deadline, it is the missing starting point.
The answer is built from complete data.
Reconstructed, not patched
TX-Partner reconstructs what really happened on-chain. A lump-sum adjustment does not make the assignment correct, only invisible.
Fixed price after the analysis
TX-Partner looks at the data first, then you know the costs, before you place the order. No hourly rate, one fixed price for the quote.
Ready to file
One data set for three recipients: tax report, proof of funds, DAC8 reconciliation.
When the tax office asks
Three clients, three unclear data situations. What could be evidenced once the data was prepared.
“I did not know exactly where I stood. TX-Partner reviewed my data and explained clearly where I am and what to watch out for.”
“TX-Partner helped me extremely competently and professionally in a particularly challenging situation with a tight deadline. Also human and empathetic.”
“My crypto transactions were entered cleanly, fully and traceably in Blockpit. Saved me a lot of time and effort.”
Genuine client reviews, collected via Trustpilot, LinkedIn and direct feedback after each project.
